This class is hosted on a private website via Zoom. It meets Thursdays at 9 am CST beginning on August 22, 2024. Other times are available on Outschool. 

Welcome to Social Studies! This weekly Social Studies course is designed to be an introduction to the world we live in for kindergarten and first grade (recommended for ages 5-7). This course is 16 weeks long. Topics are grade appropriate and broken down into easy to understand lessons. The lessons are full of discussions, colorful slide presentations, and engaging activities. Each week will include a printable worksheet that we will complete together in class. Students will have ample opportunities to share and interact with each other in class. 

Students will need to bring the worksheet (or blank paper) and a writing utensil to class. Having crayons on hand would be handy as well but not necessary.

My favorite part of teaching is building relationships with my students! Classes are held live on Zoom, and I encourage participation and discussion.  It is preferred if students can mute and unmute themselves. I allow students to stay unmuted, but I will mute if there is distracting background noise.
