To give teachers an idea of what our 5th grade students are being asked to do, I thought I would put a couple of questions on my blog to show the level of complexity the State Department is asking our 5th graders to think at. Our kids can do this, but we have to teach them Social Studies skills in lower grades to give them practice and to prepare them for the challenging questions they are facing on the OCCT.
I wanted to tell everyone welcome back for the second semester! I am disappointed that we didn't get an opportunity to visit and share strategy ideas on January 2nd. I am planning on attending more PLCs this semester than I did in the first semester and also providing some professional development when needed/ asked for. If you have some strategies or topics that you would like some more information on, I would love to share with you during a PLC or planning time. Please let me know what I can do to better support you and your students.
