Social Studies
K-5
LKSD utilizes a localized and translated K-5 social studies curriculum for our students. The textbooks are based on TCi's Social Studies Alive! but are tailored to create more local relevance for our students.
Supplemental components such as Daily Geography and online resources are used to support the curriculum. Resources can be found in the LKSD Resource Library and within the district's curriculum warehouse.
At DLE sites, social studies is in taught in Y/Cugtun for 45 minutes daily.
At Non-DLE sites, science is in taught in English for 45 minutes daily.

Frequently Asked Questions

We currently do not have teacher editions of the books. However, on the Yugtun Curriculum website we provide lesson plans that follow the LKSD Best Practices lesson cycle.
What if I need more copies of the text?
Please email kevin_lopez@lksd.org
How do I get a TCi login?
We no longer use the online materials for TCi. Since we localized the curriculum, the content of our books and the online materials do not match up.

You can find all the elementary SS lesson plans on our Yugtun Curriculum website.
