Jan. 2022 Elementary Social Studies Newsletter
It is time again for the Elementary Social Studies Newsletter! This month you can find some resources for the 130th anniversary of Ellis Island, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Did you know that last February the Utah State Legislature created a resolution on Holocaust Education in the schools? They have asked all schools at all grade levels to teach age appropriate material about the Holocaust. Students should not wait until they are learning about world history to learn about the Holocaust. This month’s newsletter has a picture book lesson that could be used at all grade levels to begin teaching students about the Holocaust.
You will also find some informational texts that could be used in your Walk to Read Enrichment groups. You will find: Farmers (1st grade), Saving Money (2nd grade), Recycling (3rd grade), Claire Ferguson: Utah’s First Female Sheriff (4th grade), Trail of Tears (5th Grade), and Johannes Gutenberg (6th grade).
Don’t forget to sign up for the picture book drawing.
