Kids need to understand civics too! Join us as we explore hands-on activities and children's literature that will help teachers lay a foundation for teaching responsible citizenship and celebrating America's beliefs and principles. The institute will provide resources to address a) characteristics of good citizens b )community helpers c) symbols, customs, and celebrations that represent America's identity.
These concepts are explored through guided and shared reading/writing opportunities appropriate for kindergarten through 3rd grade students.
To support the teaching of the TEKS, a variety of of rich materials such as historical children's books, primary resources, poems, songs, and biographies are part of this professional learning. Explore lessons and strategies that support student success and enrich existing curriculum.
Participants receive access to all materials upon completion of the course.
