Period 4 Social Studies

4th Grade Social Studies standards include Indiana history and geography skills. This week we will focus on the growth of Indiana as improvements in agriculture and mechanized farm tools helped the farmers and led to the growth of cities. We will also read about early industry in Indiana and when our state parks were established. We will have our final quiz on Chapter 5 on Friday. Did you know that in 1916 McCormick's Creek State Park and Turkey Run State Park were established as the first two state parks in Indiana?
