You've hit the jackpot is you teach US History for Kids!
Why? Because you aren't going to have to go searching all over the place for fun social studies/US History activities. That's what I used to do until I decided to spend two years making this pack. It has been a blessing to lots of teachers, and I hope you will find that it is to you too.
I have often been told by teachers that planning for social studies does not come easily for them, that they don't enjoy it, and quite frankly, they don't fully understand the historical events. It is my hope that this pack will help expert teachers and novice teachers enjoy social studies and that it will help you pass on a love of history to your students. Because there are 146 passages included in this pack, it will make it easy for you to integrate social studies and reading. Plus, there are so many other activities in this pack to go along with the passages. Have fun, and I hope you love it all as much as I do.

You will love this interactive notebook pack!
Why do I think you will love my passages? I work very hard to research the information. I try to include a lot of info. and not leave gaps in history like some textbooks do. I try to write passages on one topic, so that it is easier for upper elementary to digest. I have been told I have a writing style that makes the topics easy to learn. I have taught the information for twenty years, PLUS... a bonus is that I confer with my husband who has taught US History for nearly thirty years and has a Master's degree in History. I can assure you that we make a great team when it comes to US History!

Perfect interactive notebook pack for 4th and 5th graders!
Do you teach 4th grade social studies in Georgia? Notebooks 1-3 below go along with the Georgia 4th grade social studies curriculum, along with the other passages in this pack.
Do you teach 5th grade social studies in Georgia? Notebooks 3-4 continue on with the 5th grade topics. It's like striking gold...in all seriousness though, these passages will be perfect for you.
NOTE: Even though I use Georgia social studies standards to guide me, this is all US History and not GA specific. It should work for anyone covering the same topics. I have had teachers all over the United States use my passages with great success.
