2nd Grade Social Studies

Second grade social studies introduces kids to communities, traditions, and maps in simple, meaningful ways. Our 2nd Grade Social Studies collection brings together vetted, secular resources for homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers teaching children around ages 7–8. You’ll find story-based curricula, community and family studies, early geography and map skills, and gentle introductions to history and holidays that respect diverse cultures. Every resource is reviewed for developmental appropriateness, inclusive representation, and hands-on engagement through crafts, role play, and simple projects. Use the filters to explore by focus (communities, families, geography, holidays and traditions, or basic civics), format (books, unit studies, printables, or online programs), and learning needs such as ADHD, dyslexia, autism, or 2e. Many families weave 2nd grade social studies into daily conversations and read-alouds using materials from this collection. If you’re unsure how much structure makes sense at this age, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can suggest social studies resources that fit your child and your family culture.

Woodland Indian Educational Programs
No reviews
Woodland Indian Educational Programs is a Native-run educational service that focuses on Eastern Woodlands Indigenous cultures. The group designs programs for museums, historic sites, schools, powwows, and cultural centers, often using living-history-style demonstrations to teach about housing, clothing, tools, agriculture, and diplomacy. Presenters bring maps, material-culture displays, and carefully researched outfits, and they also offer staff trainings for teachers and docents. The goal is to replace stereotypes and generic “Native American” lessons with tribally grounded information and to show that Woodlands Nations have complex, ongoing histories and present-day communities, not just a distant past.
