Lower School teachers have been thinking together about the goals we set for social studies, in particular the conceptual goals that underlie our projects, trips and written tasks. As much as in literacy or math, we design a program to reflect students’ developmental orientation. We meet them where they are, tapping into their interests and curiosity within the framework of their realm of understanding. For example, we know that the younger child learns through concrete, personal experience – a trip or interview is a springboard for extended learning as your child reflects, questions, draws and writes about an exciting experience, turning it into new and deeper understanding. As the student matures and her worldview broadens, she extracts more and more information from books and symbolic communication, linking this to direct, interactive experience. Eventually, around Third Grade, students are ready to leave what we call the ”here and now” and enter the world of “long ago and far away;” to study those things that cannot be visited directly, tasted or touched. Thanks to the experiential foundation of their earlier years, eight and nine year olds are prepared to appreciate the flow and evolution of history and to conceptualize a timeline leading from then to now.

Watch baseball return to Queens each season when this Major League franchise takes the field. The Mets arrived in 1962 to fill the void left by two storied National League clubs that had headed west a few years earlier. Their name actually echoes back to a 19th-century team that played in the 1880s, creating a quirky thread of continuity through the city's baseball history. The club called the Polo Grounds home for its first couple seasons before moving to Shea Stadium in the mid-1960s, where generations of fans watched them play for over four decades. Since 2009, they've made Citi Field their headquarters, built on the same plot where their previous stadium once stood. Winter brings a quieter energy to the ballpark when the season ends, but come spring, the neighborhood buzzes with anticipation again. The team competes in the National League's East Division, drawing crowds who come for both the love of the game and the chance to be part of Queens' sporting identity.
