NEW PRODUCT: Social Studies Units on US Holidays

My monthly science products have been a huge hit and I have been asked by several people to create social studies units that are a similar style.  What better time to tackle this than summer break?  I have created my first social studies unit all about U.S. HOLIDAYS.  These products are much larger and have many more activities than my science units so they could last for an entire quarter, or they could be pulled out throughout the year when needed.  Look for more social studies throughout the year...and if you have any topics you are wanting, please leave me a comment or shoot me an email (autismtank@gmail.com).

This product includes:
-Vocabulary overview and matching page (differentiated)
-3 Types of Assessment
