As social studies is continually marginalized in the elementary classroom, integration has become a primary method to include social studies in the elementary day. Through a co-constructed unit with a 2nd grade teacher, the researcher describes a process to integrate curriculum while focusing on content area goals. The process is developed, explained and applied to a 2nd grade integrated social studies unit with the support of a practicing 2nd grade teacher. After developing the unit, three practicing teachers provided feedback. On the whole, teachers provided positive feedback. However, they did not address the unit’s alignment to curriculum goals.
