Goal: Pennsylvania academic standards: Social studies, Kindergarten

## 1. Principles and Documents of Government

- [Rules and agreements exist](https://ai.page/c/rules-and-agreements-exist/index.md): Understand why rules and agreements exist — that they help keep people safe, make things fair, and help groups work well together — and follow agreed rules willingly rather than only when being watched

## 2. Markets and Economic Systems

## 3. Scarcity and Choice

- [Needs & Wants](https://ai.page/c/needs-and-wants/index.md): The difference between things we need (food, shelter, clothing) and things we want (toys, treats); that we sometimes have to choose because money is limited

## 4. Physical Characteristics of Places and Regions

- [Similarities & Differences](https://ai.page/c/similarities-and-differences/index.md): Notice and appreciate ways that people are similar to and different from each other — including appearance, family structures, languages spoken, foods eaten, and celebrations observed — and understand that differences make communities interesting

## 5. Historical Analysis and Skills Development
