Class Experience

US Grade 3
Third Grade Social Studies is taught to the National Council for the Social Studies (U.S.) standards, covering history, economics, civics, and geography. Students begin to learn and practice analytic skills, consideration of multiple viewpoints and diverse backgrounds, intentional decisions about their communities and world, consideration of consequences of decisions, and relationships within society. They will also begin developing a foundation in U.S history and government, as well as world geography. In Unit 1, we focus on economics. 

Each learner will be provided with a link to an interactive, online workbook. Every Saturday, a video will be added to the Outschool classroom with the coming week's lesson, along with a post detailing the coming week's assignments. Worksheets, projects guidelines, and, and quiz links for the coming week will be added to the interactive, online workbook on Saturdays. I will be available throughout the week to answer questions in the online classroom. I will provide feedback to learners in their virtual workbooks on Fridays.

STUDY HALL: Learners enrolled in any of my semester courses are invited to attend study hall, which is held on most Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings during the semester, at no additional cost. This is a time when students can get extra help with assignments, ask questions, work with classmates on group projects, or just log in and work on homework with other learners. 

For students seeking a final grade and/or letter of completion, both will be provided following each unit of the class as well as a letter of completion for those students who complete all four units. 

This flex class is for learners who want to practice their Social Studies skills, as well as students who want to get a letter of completion.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
As we study social studies, students may encounter descriptions and discussions of wars, colonization, disease, current events, and death. All subjects and topics will be covered in a manner that is as age-appropriate as possible, but some learners may be especially sensitive to these topics.
Supply List
Each learner will be provided with a link to an interactive, online workbook. Some projects will include making art so learners are encouraged to have general art supplies available such as markers, crayons, etc.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in History from Gettysburg College
Bachelor's Degree in English from Campbellsville University
I am currently enrolled in my final course through the Gettysburg College-Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History master of arts in American history program. In addition, I have bachelor of arts degrees in English, journalism, and political science. I was the director of a social justice center for three years during which time I routinely taught about and facilitated conversations about historical and current political events for both teen and adults participants. Before that, I was a newspaper editor and reporter for 15 years. I have been teaching history, social studies, and English Language Arts classes for the past five years. I am currently lead teacher at The Foster Woods Folk School, which focuses on education, storytelling, and the arts within an ecosocial justice framework aimed at celebrating and improving our connections as a global community of human and non-human earthlings. In this role, I work with learners of all ages with a primary focus of working with learners in grades three through 12.
