                                   OTHER RESOURCES TO REVIEW

   This summer, I had the opportunity to review the following resources in the Mount Vernon Teacher Resource Center published by Teacher Created Materials.  The kits are absolutely phenomenal!  You can visit the web site to review their NEW social studies/history primary sources, etc.  There are also primary source readers related to this unit (Grades 4-8).  Here are a few of the kits and resources about the Constitution. (Grades 5-12)
