Abstract
Designed by pre-service teachers, this fifteen-day Social Studies unit covers Kindergarten Florida Social Studies Sunshine State Standards and Florida B.E.S.T. Standards while incorporating Universal Design for Learning strategies, English Language strategies, and opportunities for students to engage with educational technology in various capacities. This unit is complete with a daily Instructional Guide for teachers, turnkey student-facing materials, lists of or links to any necessary resources not created by the authors, and a post-assessment. During this unit, students will explore US Symbols through read alouds, coloring pages, videos, and songs. Students will learn about multiple key figures in American History and reflect on the choices and actions they took that made them “good citizens.” Lastly, students will identify and explore important holidays in America through collaborative, hands-on activities.
