Welcome to Social Studies Month! This month in our T, Th classes, we will focus on the Election and the importance of civic responsibility. The kids kicked off Social Studies month with a lively Election Trivia game. The game served as a basic introduction to this year’s Presidential election and the election process in general. Congratulations to Santiago, Helen, Ethan, and Reggie in 6A and , in 6B Willem, Donte, and Keegan, winners of the first Election coverage trivia joust!

Our Wednesday class will continue in production of their newscast. All of the kids have done research on their segments and this week, will work on fine tuning their speeches, presentation skills, and set design for their stations. The camera will be rolling, catching them all in the act!
