Hello everyone! Summer is totally winding down for me and I think I’m actually OK with it… EEK! :) Don’t tell anyone!

My teammate and I have met up a few times this summer to plan for the first 3 weeks of school. We also made all of our copies for the first couple of weeks as well!! We had never done that before- we’d always waited until the day after our school’s sneak a peek and then scrambled and crammed in our planning with 2 days til school started! It feels awesome!

One of the first things we have to teach about in social studies is Authority Figures at home, at school, and in the community. I looked back at what we had done the past few years and then I hopped on Pinterest to see what else was out there. I found a few things but not a whole lot, so I got busy putting this together.

This is a color sort to create an anchor chart. I also included a black and white version in case you can’t print in color. I can’t print in color at school, but I can at home.

Here is an anchor chart with the definition of what an Authority Figure is to help introduce the topic to your students.

This is a cut and staple book that students will label with a separate page of Authority Figure terms.

Here is a fill in the blank page, color by home/school/community, and ABC order.

Here are some photo vocabulary cards for students to read the responsibilities of the authority figures.
