Finish Strong! You can do it!
Our state assessments are done now, so the stress is reduced. This is a great time for you to be creative with your social studies lessons. What are ways to incorporate more project-based learning, cooperative groups, document based questions, virtual field trips, research, technology integration, etc?
Get creative and make sure to collaborate with your team to push the students to think outside the box and to think at higher levels. We are in this together and more heads planning together are always better than one. Reach out to other schools! We all have such great ideas to share for the benefit of our young Dragons.
