Social Studies
Alright! Here's the game plan. Strategy #1 - Reinforce that social studies is AWESOME! A lot of students enter the social studies realm thinking it will be "BOOOORRRRRRING." Say what?? My goal this year is to ignite within your child an appreciation for Ohio's history.
We're going to start with basic map skills because let's be honest: If a student doesn't know where Ohio is located, then this entire year will miss a positive connection. From there, we'll learn about the Ice Age, Native Americans, Wars, Immigration to Ohio, Government, and more! There will be reading, projects, timeline focus, acting out important historical moments, and discussion. By teaching through various methods, your child will hopefully make the necessary connections to learn the history of their state. As a bonus, we get to learn about money management through economics. Can we say Shark Tank?
