NATIVE AMERICANS- Social Studies Notebooking- Intro & Vocabulary Packet
I've been using notebooking in Social Studies for almost a year now, and I love it! My notebooking units involve a lot of reading, and we'll focus on reading skills, such as summarizing, looking for main idea and details, highlighting important information, taking notes, etc. My students have loved watching their notebooks grow throughout the school year and enjoy looking back at what they have learned.
This 16 page Intro & Vocabulary packet is the first part of my Native Americans unit

Presidential TimeLine
Students often have difficulty understanding the concept of time. By using a timeline that is part of the classroom decor, they will be able to readily see when significant events occurred. The theme of the timeline is the terms of U.S. presidents. After the timeline is posted, students can research various areas (inventions, local events, etc.) and place them on the timeline. In this way, they can have a better idea of historical milestones.
