I love social studies. You can jump into any historical or political period and combine the lesson with reading, writing, art, science, sports, philosophy, cooking, music, etc. Encourage your child to share their thoughts and interests on the topic.
Here are some online resources:
- MPS Online Learning
- Newsela– Reading and current events (political, social, economic)
- Khan Academy online courses
- Wisconsin Department of Instruction Social Studies page (includes resources and curriculum information)
- PBS Kids Social Studies Games
- Wisconsin History
- Milwaukee History
- Free Thematic Social Studies units
