2026 Indiana Academic Standards: K-12 Social Studies

Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students put school and community events on the right dates in a monthly calendar. They update entries when plans change and use the calendar to see what is coming next.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student places field day on May 12 and a parade on May 17. When field day moves to May 19, they remove the old entry and name the parade as the next event.
Common Misconceptions: Students may find the right week but mark the wrong date. Some leave the old entry in place when an event moves, so it appears twice.
How to Assess It: Give students a May calendar and this note: "Field day was May 12, but it moved to May 19. The town parade is May 17." Ask them to mark the current dates and circle the event that comes first.

Lesson moves

Give pairs a May calendar and sticky notes for field day on May 12 and a parade on May 17; have them place both notes.
Ask: "Field day moved to May 19. What should we change on our calendar, and why?"
Play Calendar Detective: hand out dated event cards, have students mark each date, then name the event that comes next.
Use the school newsletter to add library night to the class calendar, then write its date on a take-home reminder.
