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.
