During this social studies camp, learners will engage in hands-on activities to get an overview of life in early America during the 1800s. Since this is a 10-week class, we will cover the “highlights” that will be interesting for students.

This is a great summer fun class for students entering grades 4-7 social studies / American History classes for the new school year - September 2025.
*** During this time in history, there were a lot of events, people and dates to remember and it truly takes hearing the lessons a number of times before a student gains proficiency in this area. ***

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.Reviews
