American Symbols

American Symbols is one of my FAVORITE units to teach. 

It must be yours too because 

over 12,000 teachers have purchased this unit

from Teachers Pay Teachers !

It meets the Common Core Standards for

Informational Reading with rigor and  

brings your classroom joy while reading!


American Symbols Unit by Teacher to the Core includes everything you need

Updated with more crafts and symbols see below!




My students LOVED this unit!

  I got 4 parent notes telling me how

 much they enjoyed hearing their child talk informatively and

passionately about Social Studies.

One parent said that their child doesn't talk much at the dinner

table, and now he won't stop talking about school and symbols!

I think it's because the unit is written to be 

kid friendly and engaging!
