| Core Knowledge Social Studies |
|
This page is dedicated to all the teachers who
have had to become researchers and authors due to the lack of
textbooks and resources for the Core Knowledge Curriculum. When
our school system adopted Core Curriculum, I think most teachers
were a bit overwhelmed. The best resources I found were online,
and if it hadn't been for the internet, I would have gone crazy
that first year researching Core Knowledge topics for the third
grade. Most of the links below are for primary grades. Enjoy! |
If you know of sites
which would have a place here or if you find an outdated link
please let me know.
