    A great listen for parents
    There isn’t a whole lot you can do if your school isn’t sharing a lot of social studies education with elementary aged kids BUT this show gives so many ideas and resources for conversations you can start at home. Diving into social studies topics together as a family - this podcast will have plenty of ideas and ready to use resources to help you get started.
