Being a Good Citizen Unit on Rights & Responsibilities of Citizenship – 1st Grade Social Studies

Description

Kick off back to school with this being a good citizen unit and learning about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship while integrating social studies into your literacy block! This good citizenship thematic unit was written for the first few weeks of school in first grade, but is perfect for any K-2 classroom!

 

BIG IDEA FOR THIS GOOD CITIZENSHIP THEMATIC UNIT

“Individuals within a community share rights and responsibilities.”

 

WHAT IS A FIRST GRADE INTEGRATED THEMATIC UNIT?

My integrated thematic units include 6 weeks of extremely detailed weekly and daily fables lesson plans in reading, writing and social studies and/or science. The list of COMMON CORE STANDARDS tied to activities are included as well as all materials needed to teach the lessons, anchor charts and templates.

 

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!

 

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. Integrating content into our literacy block helps us cover our content standards while also reinforcing our literacy standards. Read more about how I squeeze science and social studies into my first grade weekly schedule in this blog post.
