GE LEVEL OR COURSE TITLE: Kindergarten: Living, Learning and Working Together Course Code: 5021020
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Kindergarten: Living, Learning and Working Together – The kindergarten social studies curriculum consists of the following content area strands: American History, Geography, Economics, and Civics. Kindergarten students will learn about themselves, their families, and the community. Students will be introduced to basic concepts related to history, geography, economics, and citizenship.
The following pacing guide replaces the Competency-Based Curriculum for Social Studies as the required curriculum for grades K-12 in Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
Please note the following important general information regarding the Pacing Guides:
The Pacing Guides outline the required curriculum for social studies, grades K-12, in Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Social Studies Pacing Guides have been developed for all elementary grade levels (K-5) and for each of the required social studies courses at the middle and senior high
school levels. The Social Studies Pacing Guides are to be utilized by all teachers, grades K-12, when planning for social studies instruction. The Pacing Guides outline the required sequence in which the grade level or course objectives are to be taught. The Pacing Guides outline the pacing in which instruction should occur. Specifically, the Pacing Guides are divided into 9 week segments and provide an estimate of the
number of traditional or block days needed to complete instruction on a given topic. Teachers should make every effort to stay on pace and to complete the topics in a given nine weeks. Slight variations in pacing may occur due to professional decisions made by the teacher or because of changes in school schedules.
NOTE: Essential Benchmarks identified in this course are highlighted in Yellow.
Each Social Studies Pacing Guide is divided into the following headings/categories to assist teachers in developing lesson plans:
Grade Level or Course Title - The grade level and course title are listed in the heading of each page. Course Code - The Florida Department of Education Course Code is listed for the course. Topic - The general topic for instruction is listed; e.g., Westward Expansion. Pacing - An estimated number of traditional or block instructional days needed to complete instruction on the topic is provided. Strands and Standards – Strands and Standards from the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) are provided for each topic. Nine Week Grading Period - Grading periods (1-4) are identified. Essential Content – This critically important column provides a detailed list of content/topics and sub topics to be addressed during instruction. NGSSS-SS Benchmarks – This critically important column lists the required instructional Benchmarks that are related to the particular topic. The Benchmarks are divided
into Content Benchmarks and Skill Benchmarks. These benchmarks should be identified in the teacher’s lesson plans. Instructional Tools - This column provides suggested resources and activities to assist the teacher in developing engaging lessons and pedagogically sound instructional
practices. The Instructional Tools column is divided into the following sub-parts: Core Text, Key Vocabulary, Technology (Internet resources related to a particular topic), Suggested Activities, Assessment, English Language Learner (ELL) Instructional Strategies, Related Programs (National, State, and/or District programs as they relate to a particular topic), and SPED (A link to the NGSSS-SS Access Points for Students with Cognitive Disabilities).

Florida Reading and Writing Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies K-5:
Florida Reading and Writing Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, grades K-5, can be found at the end of each nine weeks Pacing Guide. When planning lessons for instruction, teachers should address these state standards during their teaching of social studies content to ensure a systematic and proven approach to literacy and writing development. The Florida Standards are research and evidenced-based, aligned with college and work expectations, rigorous, and internationally benchmarked. For a complete listing of all Florida Standards, please visit: http://flstandards.org/ The specific pages for History/Social Studies K-5 standards for Literacy and Writing have been extracted from the Florida Standards document and placed at the end of each nine weeks Pacing Guide for each required K-5 social studies course.
Course Themes: Identified under “Essential Content” are course themes that span multiple topics. For K-3 Social Studies*, the following themes are identified:
Culture- Human beings create, learn, share, and adapt to culture.o Understand that cultures are dynamic and change over time.o Explore concepts of likenesses and differences among cultural groupso Identify the cultural basis for some celebrations and ways of life in their community and in examples from across the world.
Time, Continuity, and Change- Studying the past makes it possible for us to understand the human story across timeo Learn to locate themselves in time and space.o Gain experience with sequencing to establish a sense of order and timeo Begin to understand the historical concepts that give meaning to the events that they study
Department of Social Sciences Pacing Guide

History/Social Science Labs are an engaging and rigorous instructional approach designed to require in-depth learning and thinking on the part of the student guided by an essential question, analysis of primary or secondary source documents, and ending in a rigorous writing assignment or other rigorous learning task.
Steps to Conduct History/Social Science Labs
1. Identify the NGSSS-SS Benchmark(s) to be addressed.
2. Develop an essential question or use an essential question already found in the pacing guide.
3. Build background knowledge with students about the topic.
4. FACILITATE students conduct on document/source analysis.
5. Have students report back about their analysis of the source(s).
6. Take the lab to an end and have students Independently answer, in writing, the essential question
