Great ideas and strong interdisciplinary connections!

I was using this book as a resource to summarize social studies topics, people, and events for grades K-6. This book explained the national standards clearly. It provided great interdisciplinary connections with many helpful lessons plans. It shows pictures. It explains itself. This book is definitely worth getting.
