Well, since I am not a teacher, this one is going to a little difficult for me.
The first place I would like to go to is the Today in History. I like know where we came from, I think it should help guide us in getting to where we are now headed. Follow this link http://thinkfinity.org/today-in-history/2010-11 to find out what happened during the month of November and to find ideas for lessons.
There is a It Began With the Mayflower section with lesson plan ideas http://thinkfinity.org/began-with-mayflower I like the lesson on scarcity. This is a concept that could be introduced to students at a young age and while it is normally introduced as a lesson in supply and demand I feel younger students could understand this concept better put in terms they would understand. No more room at this table, no more room available on the rug, these are things students in 2-3 grades grasp quicker.
I'm not saying they can't understand supply and demand, they just get the concept of out of room quicker.
