A maze solved with teamwork isn’t just a game. 🧩 It’s a lesson in communication, collaboration, and problem-solving. The very skills history classrooms cultivate when students wrestle with big questions and complex stories! #HistoryMatters

What do 5th graders see when they study community leaders & freedom? 👀 🦅 They don’t just memorize names. Students uncover how ideas spread, how change happens, and how voices shape democracy. Isn’t that the kind of learning we want for all kids? #HistoryMatters
It equips students to question, connect, and think deeply about the world. #HistoryMatters
The first spark matters. 🔥 4th graders stepping into social studies aren’t just learning the regions. They’re stepping into stories, vocabulary, and ideas to fuel their reading, thinking, and civic journey. Social studies should be in every elementary class! #HistoryMatters

In @PCSSTN, a student wrote about Westward Expansion then circled the words that answered the question. ✍️📚 That’s the power of history: building knowledge, literacy & confidence at the same time. #HistoryMatters
👇Democracy in action. When 3rd graders run campaigns, cast ballots, and cheer the winners, they’re not just having fun. They’re building civic muscles, vocabulary, and the habit of informed participation. History class = rehearsal for citizenship. #HistoryMatters

When the subject that prepares students for democracy is our lowest-performing, the alarm bells should be deafening for why history and civics should be given more attention, especially in elementary.

✨ When social studies and literacy come together, classrooms come alive! Seeing teachers lean into strategies that build knowledge and skills gets us excited because reading is richer when rooted in history. ✨

🧠 When students analyze natural disasters, they’re building background knowledge, learning to think critically, connecting causes with effects, and seeing how history helps to shape the lives of those around them. #HistoryMatters

At @BesterWCPS, elementary students learn about Jay’s Treaty. When history is taught early, kids don’t just learn facts. They build reading skills, civic knowledge & the confidence to connect ideas. #HistoryMatters.
“Dear Britain, it’s not me…it’s liberty.” 💔✍️ 8th graders channeling the Declaration of Independence into break-up letters shows what happens when history is more than dates. Students learn to analyze, adapt, and own the ideas that shaped our nation. #HistoryMatters

Poverty creates challenges, but schools can help close knowledge gaps with the right curriculum. Read more in @natwexler’s Substack: open.substack.com/pub/nataliewex… #KnowledgeMatters #CurriculumMatters
Time for social studies in elementary schools has dwindled. Some spend as little as 30 minutes a day. But without space for history and civics, we’re limiting students’ ability to make meaning, connect ideas, and build deep knowledge. #HistoryMatters tinyurl.com/yrftnret
Showing students, especially girls, that they belong in the historical narrative isn’t just inclusion. It’s empowerment. That’s why #HistoryMatters. historians.org/perspectives-a…
