Welcome to Social Studies with Mrs. A! This isn’t just another class—it's an exciting adventure into the world around us. Here in Social Studies with Mrs. A, we dive into history and society by looking at different cultures, key historical events, and global perspectives through fun and interactive activities. We cover all facets of Social Studies including history, geography, civics, and economics, which history being a primary focus for this grade level. Think of this course as a journey where you'll get to explore the past, understand the present, and imagine the future. Mrs. A is an enthusiastic, Master-level teacher who designs an authentic curriculum by following the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) standards for grades 4-5, but with her own unique twist! Lesson feature engaging, collaborative experiences, lively discussions, and meaningful connections. Your learner will work on group projects, participate in fun simulations, and real-life experiences to make learning come alive! Breakout rooms are used often and are a favorite for students to get to know others and have fun learning together! We’ll cover a lot of ground—geography, history, civics, and economics—but don’t worry, we’ll do it all in a way that’s both fun and memorable. Your learner will get to explore US History from ancient times through today, consider the impact of fascinating people throughout history, look at the economy from a new perspective, develop a meaningful understanding of geography, and gain a real understanding of how everything is connected. Whether we’re investigating historical impacts, examining cultural traditions, or debating real events, students will be sharpening their critical thinking and communication skills with each lesson along the way! Through Mrs. A's inquiry-based approach, learners are encouraged to ask big questions, dig into research, and share their discoveries in creative ways. Whether your learner is the type who loves to share or prefers to observe quietly, there’s a place for them here. Mrs. A ensures everyone has a chance to participate in a way that’s comfortable for them. Here’s what each class will look like: 🍎Welcome & Community Time: We start with a warm greeting and time to connect. 🍎Exploratory Questions: We’ll spark discussions and ignite prior knowledge. 🍎Key Lesson: This is where we dive into our theme, exploring topics like history, geography, civics, and economics. 🍎Engaging Activities: From games and stories to discussions and projects, we’ll make learning fun and interactive. 🍎Recap & Homework*: We’ll review what we’ve learned and set optional homework to continue the exploration. 🍎Goodbye & Lesson Recap: We’ll wrap up and post a recap of the lesson and homework in our online classroom. *Homework, assigned weekly, is always optional, but encouraged for continued exploration and fulfillment of learning objectives each week. Some favorite lessons throughout the school year include a scavenger hunt for primary-source artifacts detailing Native American cultures, a spirited yet gentle debate about the articles of confederation, a decoding activity mapping coordinates of the transcontinental slave trade, character studies about famous enslaved heroes, and a reenactment of life on the Oregon Trail! We practice building budgets, reading maps, making laws, drawing on multiple perspectives, asking good questions, and creating timelines of US history. By the end of the course, your learner will be ready to take on the world with curiosity, empathy, a clear understanding of the past. So, get ready for an awesome journey as we explore the fascinating world of Social Studies together! 🗓️ See Syllabus below for themes and weekly lessons (scroll down) © Copyright 2024, Kara Agyekum

父母的引導和規範
Addressing sensitive topics like discrimination and racism with care and expertise is crucial in creating a safe and inclusive learning environment. Mrs. A is well-prepared to navigate these discussions with sensitivity, honesty, and respect for all perspectives. While acknowledging the realities of discrimination throughout history and in contemporary society, my goal is to foster understanding, empathy, and a commitment to kindness and acceptance among students.
Any instances of direct discrimination or unkind behavior within the classroom will be promptly addressed by the instructor, and appropriate follow-up actions will be taken, including potential removal from the session or formal intervention through Outschool Safety & Support protocols. Our priority is to ensure that all students feel valued, respected, and supported in their learning journey.
先決條件
Mrs. A has a course for third and fourth grade social studies. If you are a fourth grader and haven’t yet taken that, it is highly recommended to start there and follow with this course next year.
