Weekly Updates

Each week we have 2 or 3 days of current events.  We have been watching “Today in 2 minutes” which features late breaking news stories of the day.  The other 2 days we watch “Today in History” which shows clips of historical events that happened on that particular day in time.  The students use their writing skills and tell who, did what, where, when, and why about the event or article.  This short summary is added to their Social Studies notebook that we will be putting together all year long.  Their Social Studies notebooks are their toolbox of learning in our classroom.  Any time your student would like to help his/her grade by doing a special project or an extra assignment please let me know so that we can come up with an appropriate subject that can enhance your child’s learning and sharing  this information with the classroom.  dann.frank@cumbyisd.net
