Social Studies

"The Pentagon is an important building in Pennsylvania."
- me, to a class of 26 6th graders. i was quickly corrected.

I have been teaching 6th grade Social Studies (and mostly Math) for the last 4 weeks. I'm still learning a lot....a lesson learned very quickly was how little I know about Social Studies.....I have 4 periods of math and 1 period of SS. Jeff thinks it is terrible of me if I tell the kids wrong info (only a few happenings of this). and he's right, it's not good. Don't send your kids to my class!

I'm THAT teacher!!!, Ah! THAT teacher that doesn't know what the heck they are talking about. crap. I've learned : if you don't know, don't try and pretend like you do. just move on.

On a positive note, math classes are going well =)
