Integrating Science and Social Studies into your Curriculum AND a FREEBIE!

If you are like me..  I always have a hard time fitting in time to teach Science and Social Studies.  So over the years I have learned how to integrate my units into my ELA block.  

Social studies is an often-neglected subject in elementary school because typically it isn't on the state tests our students take. However, informational text comprehension is tested so every teacher should find a way to teach Social Studies during the ELA block.   If you think about it, what better way to teach non-fiction reading strategies than through interesting and relevant resources that relates to the world our students live in.  Science is a subject that is tested in most states and children generally love this subject because it is more hands on than social studies.  BUT I still have difficulty finding time to teach it as a stand alone subject, even though that is the expectation in most districts.  

I have found a way around this dilemma and I am here to share with you some tips and tools to help you integrate it across the curriculum in your room too. 

Grab your FREE Learning Log! I use it for a Science grade and a Writing grade! The kids really love illustrating too - their picture are so cute!  I love to share these with parents to show how much learning went on during the unit.
