What should kindergarten social studies actually look like across the school year?
In this episode, I’m giving you a big-picture breakdown of how I teach social studies in kindergarten, how the family unit fits in, and how I structure my curriculum to help students explore their classroom, local, and global communities.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make your social studies lessons more meaningful, inclusive, and connected to the real world … this one’s for you.
In this episode I share:
- How I structure the year around different types of communities (classroom, neighborhood, global)
- Where identity, belonging, and rules fit into the kindergarten social studies standards
- My favorite way to introduce maps and geography (plus the perfect book to support it)
- Why I tie lessons to real-time holidays and celebrations even if no one in class celebrates them
- My go-to books and videos for teaching traditions, culture, and inclusion
- How I help students understand their role in a global community
