Science and Social Studies Units

Good morning ya'll! One of the many things I am trying to accomplish this summer before school and grad school start back up is to tweak all of my science and social studies units. I teach science and social studies through a lot of integration and they are our main focus for a few weeks at a time. I am just curious what ya'll teach as your units?!


My favorite that I teach in social studies is without a doubt my unit on mail/post office. It is SO much fun and we are very lucky to have a post office right around the corner to visit for a field trip! We write several letters to our parents and the students LOVE when their parents write back to them at school!! 


My favorite science unit is hands down zoo animals because I just adore everything about animals. I get very excited about this unit and my enthusiasm definitely transfers to my kiddos. 


So I am just curious, what are your favorite science or social studies units that you teach?? I would LOVE to stop by your blogs and check out some pictures of them! 


Also, if you haven't already seen these adorable science journals from Mrs. Bell at A Place Called Kindergarten, you have to check them out. She is fabulous! 


I love so much that all of your blogs keep me excited to go back to school in the fall!! 

President's Day

Last week we celebrated President's Day and made some adorable Abe Lincoln hats with facts to hang up in the hall! My kiddos LOVED learning about Abraham Lincoln this week, they loved finding out that he kept important letters in his hat :) George Washington was equally as exciting as they are now spotting his face all over the quarters and one dollar bills they bring in for lunch money!

 

These were the "Abraham Lincoln Fact Books" they made. The outside covers are stovepipe hats.

 

Then inside they wrote down some of their favorite Abraham Lincoln facts :)

These were super easy to make and my little ones loved making them :)
