The 13 Original Colonies Timeline (English & Español)
History is an abstract concept for elementary-aged students. It simply isn't relevant to them as it happened so long ago. It is my opinion that major occurrences in history need to be broken down into their most important events. And since history can best be described as a sequence of events, I chose to represent it on a timeline. I strongly believe that when you reduce history down to memorizing a series of events you lose its importance. Spending days on end teaching each skirmish, battle, an

10 Important Events: Westward Expansion Timeline (English & Español)
Because history is such an abstract concept to our students, it is my opinion that major occurrences in history need to be broken down into their most important events; in short, summarized. Since history can best be described as a sequence of events, I chose to represent it on a timeline. I strongly believe that when you reduce history down to memorizing dates and places and players, you lose its importance.

The 3 Branches of Government (English & Español)
Social Studies, especially the workings of the government, seems more important for students to know than ever before. Many school districts seem intent on pushing world history, state history, even geography, over teaching about the government, civics, and citizenry. To that end, I present you with this poster depicting the 3 branches of government. There is a version in a summarized form aimed at primary grades and one with more comprehensive information suitable for reading comprehension exer
