For example, the older materials did a great job telling the reader how Native Americans were treated or how Slaves or Women weren't really given the same rights as the white men in our early history. https://padlet.com/ashley_melville/4SScafeb18/wish/230763322 2018-02-12 18:49:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_melville/4SScafeb18/wish/230763322 I did not receive hard copies of Kid Discover as well.

]]> 2018-02-12 18:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_melville/4SScafeb18/wish/230765495 The Studies Weekly feels like it should be integrated into ELA more than Social Studies. It's something I would give my students to do independently more than as a whole class. Impromptu survey from the kids who have experienced Studies Weekly, say they hated it in previous grades. Teachers just gave it to them to read on their own. https://padlet.com/ashley_melville/4SScafeb18/wish/230765519 2018-02-12 18:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_melville/4SScafeb18/wish/230765519 Student Consumables? https://padlet.com/ashley_melville/4SScafeb18/wish/230766844 Would Cobb be paying for Studies Weekly or would schools be paying for the consumables?
