Little Thinkers: A Social Studies Curriculum Just for Kinders


Hey all! This blog post is going to explain all about my brand new curriculum called Little Thinkers.
Little Thinkers is a complete Social Studies curriculum specifically for Kindergarten. It's everything you need to introduce, teach, practice, and assess your kinder friends. It is cross-referenced and aligned to the main topics of Kindergarten Social Studies Standards. This curriculum is 100% created by me, (and I can promise you that my products are never outsourced!). It contains everything you need in a neat, organized package.
It's totally teacher friendly and student-approved!
I'm going to walk you through the format of the entire curriculum. First, let's look at the units. UNIT 1: Citizenship UNIT 2: Then & Now (Coming Soon!) UNIT 3: My Community (Coming Soon!) UNIT 4: Our World (Coming Soon!)
Unit 1 is now complete and available here. Let's take a closer look at what is included!


Here is the breakdown of the major components of each unit. The six-week unit is meant to be taught bi-weekly (twice a week) with 25-minute lessons. I know that your time is valuable and you need to make the most of every minute, so each lesson is jam packed with content and engagement. The lessons are quick-paced, written in teacher language, and Kinder-friendly. You could give these plans to a sub or student teacher, and there would be no question as to what they need to do! It's all there for you.

Here are the components of the unit:
