Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
*********This 3 day class covers the same material that is covered in my 2 day class on the US Constitution. I opened this 3 day class so students would have more time to learn the material. If you do not see a class scheduled, you may send me a request and I will find a time that is convenient with you to offer  it.*******

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Univerity of South Carolina
I have taught History and Government/Civics to elementary and middle school students for many years. I have a special interest and deep appreciation for what makes the US government unique in our world. I like to help students develop their own understanding and appreciation of how the US government works. 

(I have taught this class before on Outschool as a 2X day class. I am adding this section as 3X day class to give us more time to cover all the material)
