Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
SUMMER BREAK SESSION

NOTE: I will refund for weeks families are on vacation - please notify me by Sunday that fee is paid. 

This is a great summer fun class for kids entering grades 3-6 Social a studies / American History in the Fall.

This social studies camp-style class is for families who would like their learners to have a fun introduction or review for American History:  colonial times through the revolutionary war and how our country was started.

*** 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. ***

Specific areas that will be covered are:

13 colonies
King George III and why he needed money
Taxes, taxes, taxes! (Lead up to the war)
Intolerable Acts & the Boston Tea Party
Revolutionary War

IF TIME PERMITS…
Articles of Confederation
US Constitution Overview: why was it written?

This class will be hands-on as I believe kids will retain information better when they can create a picture, craft or project. This will also allow them to have something in the future to look back on. 

**If you are in one of my social studies classes that covers the Revolutionary War, activities in this summer camp will be different. FOR THIS SUMMER I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS CLASS MORE ARTS & CRAFTS BASED.

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.
