Normally, regions and state history are taught in 4th grade up here, but I was told that I would also be teaching Early US history (up to the American Revolution/just after it). If you did a weekly series, by topic would be fun!<br /><br />:) Kaitlyn<br /><b><a href="http://kaitlyn-smiles.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Smiles and Sunshine</a></b>Kaitlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916622655191082682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234520836855164054.post-58678041261012906832012-06-30T13:05:23.392-05:002012-06-30T13:05:23.392-05:00Great post.

I only have 70 minutes of SS a week, and even that gets cut down if we are doing something else. I would love to see you post lessons using trade books, this would really help with both reading and SS. I have found that students respond very well when they are given a story at their level to help them fit the idea into what it means for them.<br /><br /><a href="%E2%80%9Dfaithfulinfirst.blogspot.com/%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Faithful in First</a>Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10953696469072686797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234520836855164054.post-17296503333682056072012-06-30T10:04:59.207-05:002012-06-30T10:04:59.207-05:00I LOVE this post!

But I am totally stumped. I love the idea of "You Wouldn't Want To Be.." series as a way to kick start the curriculum.<br />-Jaime<br /><a href="http://brightconcepts4teachers.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Bright Concepts 4 Teachers </a>Bright Concepts 4 Teachershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144274157371326534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234520836855164054.post-76562470439175012972012-06-30T09:40:39.469-05:002012-06-30T09:40:39.469-05:00The toughest part of teaching Science and Social S...The toughest part of teaching Science and Social Studies is meeting all of the state standards. Sometimes it becomes difficult to use project-based learning and still feel like you have covered every standard. I used a lot of UnitedStreaming videos, picture books and the idea of notebooking (creating a response to what was learned on the left side page of the notebook). To me, you have to do a combination of a lot of things to meet all of the standards. Ahhhhhh....standards.
