US Grade 4
NOTE: on my class page you will find science sections for grades 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5-6. Ask about sibling discounts! Each week in this class we will cover grade 4 social studies standards. Since this is a once-weekly class we will be concentrating on introducing facts from early American history with the goal of getting students ready to enter American History Pt 1 grade 5 class. See standards below for more specific information. I use songs, books, video clips and hands-on activities to create an interactive learning environment to help students stay engaged. The concepts under social studies can be harder concepts for learners to grasp - it’s not as cut and dry as a science topic. Due to this, there will be a lot of hands-on learning. Students will begin to understand the world they live in and discuss what their roles and responsibilities are. GRADES 4 STANDARDS TO BE COVERED: NOTE: grade 4 is an introductory overview for entering American History in grades 5 & 6. There is so much information to retain that I find it helpful to teach an overview during grade 4. This allows the kids to dive deeper once they graduate from this class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Utah Teaching Certificate in Special Education
Master's Degree in Education from Florida State University
I have a master’s degree though the department of education and have been teaching and working with students for the past 20+ years. I am a licensed K-12 special education teacher and was also the academic achievement specialist at my previous in-person school to make sure that all regular education K-8 students were making adequate progress in their academic studies each year. Prior to that I was a therapist for kids ages 5-17 who struggled with behaviors at home and at school.
Throughout my experiences as an art therapist and then as a special education teacher, I have seen that children learn best when engaged in hands-on acitivities. They tend to retain information much more effectively when enaged in active learning. Besides learning the class standards, one of the other focuses for students in this class will be on actively participating.
