SOCIAL STUDIES REDEFINED
Welcome to 6 White Social Studies! I am looking forward to a wonderful year together. With the use of technology, I have been able to create a classroom that places the learning into my students' hands. Through a self-paced, personalized learning environment, students are encouraged to take risks, create projects, and explore their interests and ideas. This year students will access all of their work through Google Classroom. They will work at their own pace to discover amazing facts about the Ancient Civilizations. The goal of changing the social studies atmosphere is for students to know that their objective is learning, not just completing work. I want them to apply their skills, develop new ideas, ask inquisitive questions, and incorporate technology. I can't wait for the great year we have ahead of us!
This year we will be using a Standards-Based Grading rubric to determine your child's grade. The areas that we will be focusing on this year are: Geography, Culture, Government, and Comprehension of Information-Based Text. In every class, your child will also have a Characteristics of a Successful Learner standard which addresses if your child was safe, productive, responsible, and respectful throughout the week. Throughout the school year, we will participate in engaging activities to address these standards.
