When I ordered this, I was going by the title that said “2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th Grade.” This is very misleading. Everything that I looked at after I purchased this item was for 2nd grade. Seeing that I am a 4th grade teacher, this felt like a huge waste of money. I am very disappointed in this purchase.

The lessons are engaging, well organized, and make it easier to teach multiple social studies topics in a meaningful way. It’s a great resource for building students’ understanding of history, economics, and geography.

I used this in its entirety last year and forgot to leave a review. This resource was a perfect print and go time saver. Easy to work through with the various grade levels and the kids actually enjoyed the lessons- so its a win! Thank you!

I have really enjoyed teaching my students knowledge using this product. The information is thorough yet age appropriate.

This is an awesome resource. My district does not provide a social studies curriculum and this was the perfect fit. My kids enjoy the videos, and I love how the student work pages are super age appropriate. I also appreciate that lesson plans are made available to you if you are using only this resource. I find that some of the items in this resource could also be implemented with a district provided curriculum.

Great resource! Even though my students are older, the topics are still relevant and a great way to introduce their grade level concepts.
Roxanne B. –
My state requires new Social Studies standards to be taught and yet we weren’t provided any resources or text books. I’m so excited this popped up. It’s perfect and covers most of what I need, minus state specific history. Thank you for creating this resource. Such a wonderful resource!
