What does it mean to make a difference? It means challenging ourselves every day to make the world better, in small ways and large. Today, it's more important than ever that we show our students what it means to be citizens of this nation - that respect, caring, responsibility, fairness, courage, and honesty are the pillars that make us strong. Scott Foresman Social Studies helps you make a difference. With rich content that captures students' imaginations and built-in reading and vocabulary instruction, your students will not only be learning, they'll be preparing for success on high-stakes state and national tests. Plus, exciting lessons from Colonial Williamsburg, the nation's largest living history museum, give your students unique opportunities to connect with the past.
