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 the concepts of rules, laws, and community heroes through activities such as games, read-alouds, and role play. Students will learn about the importance of rules in society, the role of laws in keeping communities safe, and the ways in which community heroes such as police officers and firefighters contribute to the well-being of others.
