Here is a website with the GA standards for curriculum on it. Each subject is broken down and you can click on them for the grade levels and standards. This is for GA, but it is a nice guideline if you are wondering what you are supposed to be teaching in each grade. http://www.georgiastandards.org/ Sorry, not sure why I posted this here. I guess I posted it and wasn't paying attention to the forum.
Hey, Missy- This is Becky, but I'm using my son's computer. I get Jeannie's social studies and language arts from the Georgia Learning Connections site. The site you linked to is new. They are supposed to be putting lesson plans on there at some point. I really like the lesson plans I got from GLC.
Oh! Great Scott! This lesson plan will go over VERY well with my monsters..... (Got this from a link on the page you posted..... THANKS!) Title - Delicious Continents By - Cheryl Schlisselfeld Subject - Social Studies Grade Level - 1-3 Aim: How many continents do we have? Materials: blue color paper, graham crackers, map of world, white label stickers Instructions: Depending on how many students you have in your class, assign every student to a continent. Each student has to write the name of their continent nicely on a sticker. Show each student the shape of their continent on a globe or map. Each student has to bite the shape of their continent out of the graham crackers! Then make a world map out of graham crackers on the blue paper (which represents water) on the teacher's desk. This is a fantastic way of letting the students know that we have seven continents floating in all the waters of the world just like lots of cookies! At the end everyone gets to eat their continent.
I think they have the nicest, easiest to follow yet thorough lesson plans! The only thing I could not find there was science, for some reason. I'm talking about the former site..
Here's the link for what Becky is talking about. http://www.glc.k12.ga.us/seqlps/homepg.htm Becky, if you will click on the QCC link to the left of that page you can find some lesson plans for Science.
Really? I'll try then. The last time I looked there were a very few, and not sequenced like the SS, MATH and LA.
