5th Grade Interactive Social Studies Notes:
Civil War
Thank you for purchasing my 5th grade social studies interactive notes! I use these during my own social studies instruction. You will find that these are easy to
use notes that can be printed and glued into students’ notebooks. These can be
used as an informational guide for social studies review before a test or before
the GMAS at the end of the year.
These pages are printed in black and white for easy copying and printing. Some of
these notes are doubled onto one page to save paper. The first page is a sample
of my own teacher notes. Please feel free to make them your own or use mine as a guide! The second page allows students to complete their own notes.
To complete this interactive notebook, students will need the following materials:
*scissors *glue
*colored pencils, markers, or crayons *notebook
*pencils
