Literacy Within Science & Social Studies in Pre-K

Help me give my students a more robust science and social studies experience. I want to create cross curricular activities to ensure that literacy and math skills are ingrained in the science and social studies curriculums.

My Project

My pre-k students are very curious about the world. They love science time! We even dedicated a day to “Mad Scientist Day” full of experiments. However, the curriculum we have to work with is pretty flimsy. I’m hoping these books and resources can provide some more ideas and involve more writing for our science and social studies lessons. The unique and colorful writing tools definitely encourage more writing from the little ones. I am so excited to see what they can do when they have better materials to support their science and social studies inquiry, skills and writing abilities!
