Social+Studies

 Social Studies The fourth grade social studies series, Wisconsin: Our State, Our Story is what students will be studying from this year. We will be starting the year off learning how to think like a historian. Students will learn key concepts that they will use with them the whole year. These concepts include, cause and effect, change and continuity, turning points, using the past and through their eyes. All of which are key components when thinking like a historian (TLH). This year we will be note taking, learning new vocabulary words, taking self-assessments and chapter assessments, creating projects, working on in class activities individually and in groups, and viewing short clips pertaining to each chapter. Most work will be done in class. Students will not be taking the textbooks home, but instead will be taking home packets and their notebooks to do any necessary homework, and studying for quizzes and tests.
