US Grade 4 - 5
The study of U.S. History is usually done in the scope of the big events. In this full year course, we will examine both the big and lesser known events in American history. We will explore the lives of each U.S. President, each state, and American establishments, and different icons and symbols. Starting with each U.S. state, we will cover: Who settled it? When and how did it join the Union? What important events happened there and who came from there? What battles and conflicts...
We will start with each U.S. State and Territory. In this class, students will learn more than just the state population, motto, and flower. They will learn about the different groups of people that helped the state grow, how it participated in conflicts and battles, different landmarks, food, music, and culture.
I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions. I have a passion for history, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary. I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism.
