My Project

If there is one question I could erase from my classroom next year, it would be: Has anyone ever noticed that we hardly ever learn social studies? Fact: I hear this question around January of every year.

The underlying causes: over-emphasis on subjects that will be assessed at the end of the year with standardized testing and a lack of texts aligned to our state standards.

The solution: a subscription to Studies Weekly. This publication is approved by the state department of instruction as an aligned curriculum. While I have had the digital option in the past, it has been years since I was able to provide students with their own physical copies. I am hoping to give my online students these “newspapers” for an offline alternative that they can enjoy with their learning coaches in their homes. I will be dedicating 25 minutes every day to discussing the articles we read.

Please help me replace the dreaded question about why we don’t learn social studies with exclamations of curiosity, understanding, and awareness.
