Description
Are you struggling to fit science and social studies in your busy first grade schedule? Look no further! These six 1st grade thematic units for science and social studies are planned in detail and ready to use.
Each unit begins with a content big idea and then integrates into reading and writing with many math and phonics connections as well!
What are 1st grade thematic units?
An integrated thematic unit combines content and literacy into one common learning theme so that both sets of standards can be covered during the same block of lessons. The units last 5 to 7 weeks and focus mostly on social studies or science and literacy. They do connect to math when it is appropriate, too!
Why should I use thematic units in my first grade classroom?
Let’s be honest! We don’t have a ton of time for science or social studies in first grade. So when we teach it, we need to be able to get a good bang for our buck. Integrated thematic units save instructional time AND make learning more meaningful for your first graders!
Make your literacy block more impactful and use your precious instructional time wisely.
There’s no need to spend your time putting together a cohesive unit and writing lesson plans for your content and literacy. I’ve already done that time consuming work for you! By purchasing this unit, you will have a completely integrated plan for this thematic unit and all the tools you need to teach for 6 weeks!

Does this bundle include Next Gen Science Units?
This bundle is different than a science-focused unit. It is a year long bundle of science and social studies units integrated into the literacy block for first grade. However, this bundle does include the entire Sun, Moon, Stars NG Unit because those units overlapped. The 9 other Next Gen Science units are not included. Please feel free to email me (whitney@thefirstgraderoundup) if you have any questions about what exactly is included in this bundle before purchasing.
