This is an amazing resource from the MAGE center at Macalester. Click on each of the sessions at the top to see a list of free curriculum resources on Social Studies themes. Also look for opportunities to do free education forums with this group. Very useful materials!
A very good and credible media source that tells the tale of how women across the country took charge and led.

Decent simple short videos that can introduce topics to students, would be very helpful to establish some background knowledge for concepts that some students don't have.
This is a website that is about getting back to our "roots". It talks about eating and exercising like our primal ancestors. Lots of very interesting information!
This is a resource geared toward parents. It could be something given to parents hardcopy, suggested reading for parents via the internet, and/or used by the teacher. There are suggestions for books, magazines, activities, etc. as additional resources.
Kristiana, I liked the ideas that this site has for parents, as well as teachers. Very informative and is filled with wonderful ways to guide our children.
