Class experience

The students will use their printable interactive-notebooks to document their findings along the way. During the second class, the students will have the opportunity to make a Celtic Pattern craft. They will learn about key facts (geography and the capital city), the Irish flag and food, some Irish phrases (basic words), and famous landmarks (Blarney...
The student will be able to: Identify natural characteristics of places (e.g., climate, topography). Describe simple maps to identify the location of Ireland and Northern Ireland in the UK.

Create their own Celtic Pattern craft. Understands that historical events can be interpreted differently by different individuals, families, and communities. Demonstrate the importance of listening to other points of view in the classroom.
I am a certified Social Studies teacher in the state of Pennsylvania. I taught 6th and 7th grade Social Studies/World History. I have been teaching different subjects for 8 years. I have a bachelor's degree in Social Sciences-Education from Pennsylvania State University. This is where I took multiple researched-based classes and coursework in European History, World History, Cultural Geography, and World Regional Geography. More recently, I have been reading a book series based in Scotland and the history teacher in me can't help but learn more. I have been reading many books on the history and culture of Europe, Ireland, England, Walse, and Scotland, as well as watching documentaries about the topic. Most importantly, I have a passion for teaching social studies and science and I enjoy incorporating reading and math skills into these topics!
