Hi!
I’m wondering if you’ve added/changed any books to this list in the past 4 years? Do you integrate any historical fiction with your SS units?
Thanks.
Not So Wimpy Teacher
Thank you for the question! I am sorry, but this has not been updated. However, yes it is a great idea to integrate historical fiction into your SS units. The I Survived series is always a good selection, but there are also a ton of great historical fiction picture books to help teach different topics.
