Learning About Ourselves and Others


One of our first Social Studies units in first grade is to learn about ourselves, share about ourselves, and then learn about each other.  We spend time getting to know each other, learning about interests, and seeing what our similarities and differences are.  One activity that we enjoyed doing is sharing our interests with a partner and creating a Venn Diagram to note how we are similar and how we are different.


A Venn Diagram is a graphic organizer of information.  Similarities go in the center of two overlapping circles, while differences are noted in the left or the right.  




New discoveries about ourselves and others in our class connect us and help us appreciate one another.
