Teaching Good Citizenship in the Primary Grades


Why is teaching good citizenship so important in the primary grades? Teaching about being a good citizen not only gives students a basic understanding of how to interact as a citizen, but it also teaches them how to be a part of the classroom community.

While teaching about being a good citizen continues all year, it is especially important to teach during the first few weeks of school. It’s actually the perfect way to kick off your Social Studies block. Your classroom rules and the rules of the school are a great starting point!




Discussing classroom rules naturally leads into a lesson on rules at home and the community. The community refers to students’ neighborhoods as well as places they may visit (restaurants, movie theater, grocery stores, etc…).
