My World and Me: K/1 Social Studies

Service Description

Welcome to Social Studies! This ongoing weekly Social Studies course is designed to be an introduction to the world we live in for kindergarten and first grade. This 16 week course covers citizenship, map skills, and geography. Each topic is grade appropriate and broken down into easy to understand lessons. The lessons are full of discussions, colorful slide presentations, and engaging activities. Each week will include a printable worksheet that we will complete together in class. Students will have ample opportunities to share and interact with each other in class. Students will need to bring the worksheet (or blank paper) and a writing utensil to class. We will occassionally use colors (crayons, markers, colored pencils, etc), scissors, and glue/tape. Having these things on hand will ensure smooth transitions. My favorite part of teaching is building relationships with my students! I encourage participation and discussion. It is preferred if students can mute and unmute themselves. I allow students to stay unmuted, but I will mute if there is distracting background noise.
