Why I chose this site:
I chose this site because social studies can often be a dry, boring,
and uninteresting subject for kids. This site has lots of cool subjects
and topics that can be relevant to kids.
How I'm going to use this site:
I could use this site in several ways. I could use it to talk about current
events that are happening today or I could use it to teach
kids about the past that we can longer experience first hand. This site
could be used as a whole class, or, it could be used independently for
research projects. It's nice too because it's kid focused so they wont
run into topics, pictures, etc., that aren't kid friendly.

I enjot hand on activities in lessons and a few of the lessons suggestions include making a play doh map of your state or making maps. There are also instructional lessons like how to read a map or lessons on current events. This would be very helpful for an older grade level and to get more in depth on what is going on today.

Teachers can print off worksheets for students, get activity ideas, etc. It is very user-friendly and contains a ton of information. It is a government-funded website, so it is currently not being maintained due to funding shutdowns; however, a lot of the topics are still useful and relevant because the information will never be outdated.
