2024 Alabama Course of Study: Social Studies

Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students build calendars and put events on the right dates. They place events in order on a timeline and make a schedule for one day.
What Mastery Looks Like: Given the first weekday of a month, students number the calendar boxes correctly and mark an event on its date. They order three events on a timeline and put arrival, lunch, and dismissal in the right order on a daily schedule.
Common Misconceptions: Students may confuse a date with a weekday or assume every month starts on Sunday. They may put events in the order they remember them rather than the order they happened.
How to Assess It: Give students a blank Monday to Sunday week starting on the 8th, with library on the 9th, art on the 11th, and a picnic on the 13th. Ask them to fill in the dates, order the events on a timeline, and schedule arrival, lunch, and dismissal.

Lesson moves

Give pairs weekday cards and date cards 1 to 30; say the month begins on Wednesday and have them build its calendar.
Show a marked calendar and a three-event timeline; ask students to write one sentence explaining how each shows when things happen.
Hand out cards labeled arrival, reading, lunch, and dismissal; have students place them in order on a blank daily schedule.
Use the school lunch menu to mark pizza day and taco day on a calendar, then place both lunches on a timeline.
