I teach a 6th grade class of 32 students in a K-6 grade school. The school is in a suburb of about 67,000 people. There is so much pressure to excel in Math and Reading that Science and Social Studies often takes a back seat. It is imperative that those lessons are effective. My students look forward to the Science and Social Studies lessons. I feel discouraged when I have to tell them to "pretend" the earth is spinning, or "this area of the globe used to be one country, but NOW it is many different countries." My students need basic materials in order to learn and retain the information in the Science and Social Studies lessons. These subjects are not given the attention that is needed. Our interactions with other people and cultures is a major part of our lives, yet children aren't given the chance to learn enough about them. Understanding and taking care of our planet is essential,and a knowledge of how it works is needed in order to do that.
