Classroom Setup for Social Studies Instruction - Taping State Outline to Floor

This is how I am getting in all of my Social Studies instruction this year. I am pre-recording social studies modules in advance for student to watch during rotations. I have taped an outline of the state map to my classroom floor to use for instruction.

I love the floor map! We also have limited Social Studies/Science time - 15 minutes a day at the most. Love the idea of implementing your recordings during Language Arts rotations!

I’ll be honest. When I was struggling with my schedule and how to get everything in, someone suggested it and I wasn’t crazy about the idea. Out of desperation, I tried it with this unit and it’s working. Kids are happy and learning and I feel like I am getting everything in. I may try it for our introduction to force and motion in a couple weeks, but I love science experiments so I’ll have to squeeze those in. I’ve also just started recording 10 minute math videos so when I’m in small group math, I’m also teaching a small group by video. Other students are in more active “rotations”. Hope you’re having a great year!

Do you have a TPT store to share your booklet

[@ms.bullocks2ndgradeclassroom]

I don’t have a TPT store. Happy to share whatever I have. This booklet I just pieced together from old resources I had used in the past. Think I’ll redo this next year and “clean it up” a bit. (Of course, then I’ll need to make new anchor charts and recordings.) I hardly ever laminate or print in color because after 20+ years, I still rarely do anything the same way twice. There’s always a better way. 😊Let me work on that and I’ll send it your way. 😊
