Social Studies Resources for K-5

I was looking over the K-5 standards for Social Studies in PA.     I have attached numerous online activities and promethean flip charts for everyone to utilize in your classrooms.    I kind of went  a little nuts on this blog but there are so many online activities and flipcharts to use for your Social Studies’ lessons, I couldn’t help myself! J

 A Fun Idea for Kids:

We had similar standards in North Carolina and each 9 weeks my grade level team would have a “rotation” for an entire day where each homeroom teacher would teach a 35-45 minute Social Studies Lesson.   The classes would rotate from teacher to teacher throughout the day.   One year we had 1-2 teachers do lessons on Civics and Government,  1-2 teachers do lessons on Economics, 1-2 teachers do lessons on History, and 1-2 teachers do lessons on Geography.    One year my team decided to do a whole day on one particular topic that we focused on that nine weeks, such as a 2^nd 9 weeks “Civics and Government Rotation Day”.  You could even have the kids get into the theme of the Social Studies rotation day by having them dress up in costume.  For example, students could dress up as their favorite political figure or president.
