| | Grade 5 Curriculum Guide | | Updated June 2009! This curriculum guide is intended to give teachers an overview of the many options for teaching "United States History." The Core Lessons are those that should be taught. Extend Lessons are designed for enrichment or contain supplemental materials that can be used outside of Social Studies time. The program will also complement instruction in Reading, Writing, and Math, as well as the other content areas. When Social Studies is taught within the Reading Block, students will make powerful connections to Reading, Writing, and the content area of Social Studies. |

| | Roots of American Democracy | | In the formation of our constitution, the wisdom of all ages is collected. Noah Webster, 1787. "American democracy, as we practice it today, has deep roots reaching back to ancient Greece and Rome." This site provides an excellent timeline of democracy that credits ancient Greece and Rome with the founding of our democratic principles. It also solidly supports the transition from the study of ancient civilizations taught in Grade 6 to the Constitution taught in United States History in Grade 7. |
