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
-Flashcards (picture, word, and definition)
-38 Worksheets covering a variety of levels and address skills such as writing, matching, counting, graphing, word search, money, time, fill in the blank, cut/glue activities.
-3 Games: Bingo, Memory, I have-Who has. These game includes multiple versions for different ability levels.

-Mini Research project: planning worksheets, grading rubric, self-monitoring checklist, etc.

This unit has materials for learners at different levels.  Also, it includes a variety of worksheets which allow my students to work on their social studies IEP goals as well as a variety of other goals (language arts, math, speech, OT, and science).

Let's take a look at some of the materials included:
