Social Studies Websites for Students

1. Literacy CyberSpace - Family Literacy Instruction
This site has lots of great sites for all ages, Preschool to Highschool. All the sites have a little description of each of them, and also above the sites there is a note to parents and kids that a new window may open when they click on a site, and they tell them how to get back to Literacy CyberSpace.

2. Elementary Social Studies Links
This site is broken up by grade. There are only a few sites for the lower grades, but it goes from Kindergarten to 5th Grade, and it also includes Teacher Resource websites.

3. Education World
This site could be used for teachers or students to seach for social studies topics. It's not very younger student friendly, but I think for the older grades they would have fun using it and find a lot of good information.

4. Global Classroom - Interactive Resources
I really liked this site because of everything it has on it. There are sites for school publishers, interactive whiteboards (SmartBoards), and then the subjects are broken up. There are many sites for math, reading and language arts, and social studies. Within each of these there are different subjects as well. I think it is a very organized site and great for teachers or students.
