Teaching Schedule
Because there is no national standard for teaching topics related to social studies, you can choose any number of these lessons to teach your students throughout the years. Many lessons relate well to each other, and you may benefit from teaching multiple lessons at the same time. For instance, the SS Geography Learning Roadmap Gr5-6 lesson guide includes separate lessons for the seven continents. You could teach all seven in conjunction with each other. Feel free to be flexible and adjust when necessary to fit your unique needs!
