This book provides a wealth of ideas to link social studies with literature, writing, math, music, creative arts, and technology. The ready-to-use activities, sample weekly schedule, and detailed instructions for the activities reduce the time needed for planning and preparation.

Each section of the book is arranged around a social studies theme. A weekly activities calendar will help teachers in planning their lessons. This calendar can be sent home along with the parent letter to keep parents informed of the children's social studies learning experiences.

The overview pages in each theme unit give complete, easy-to-follow instructions for carrying out the theme during the week. These pages contain suggestions for the following areas of study:

Theme Activities - ways to introduce the theme and generate interest, including discussion ideas
Curriculum Connections - activities which provide a link to other subject areas such as math and technology
Literature Time - book selections which feature the theme
Language Arts - reading and writing activities to enhance and extend the theme
Creative Arts - a variety of activities to encourage creative expression such as music, art, and cookin

In addition to the weekly chart and day-by-day overview plans, each theme section includes the following: a theme sign, a parent letter, a list of journal topics, a mini-book or idea for a class book, and a variety of activity pages. These materials will enable teachers to carry out the theme with minimum preparation time.

The appendix contains other useful materials such as a theme-related bibliography, maps, a journal format, and samples of technology projects.
