The first unit, featuring local history subjects, also covers many Common Core standards for social studies.The curriculum is broken into 5 units, each offering: background information for the teacher and/or students to read; a resource page containing links to educational websites, videos, maps, books/articles, field trip extensions, and key concepts; a classroom instruction page featuring suggested activities targeted to different grade levels, key vocabulary definitions, and associated worksheet appendixes; and a field trip activity suggestions page.
Additionally, two of the units outline a Groundwork Hudson Valley special program in the Daylighting Parks. Though not essential, we highly suggest this program be booked with a Groundwork educator to facilitate. The curriculum can be used in full or as individual units.
