https://padlet.com/alh17/pjz8pdrg1s6q Welcome to our 2nd grade Social Studies class website! With this website we can work together to answer questions and help not only the students but the parents understand with questions they may have outside the classroom and allow the students another way to do the work they need to do. Below is more information about me and the things we will be doing in the classroom and what we will be focusing on in our Social Studies unit. en-us 2019-04-26 15:50:56 UTC 2026-01-17 15:34:35 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f998.png alh17 https://padlet.com/alh17/pjz8pdrg1s6q/wish/354504187 Ms. Hackman is a student attending Albion college.

They will be learning what a community is and how our classroom is a community. Students will also be doing activities in which they learn about communities outside the classroom and how communities are different in different parts of the world. This will tie into maps and directions. Depending where they might go in the world their sense of community might change with location. The students will be learning many skills that they will be able to carry with them for many years. ]]> 2019-04-26 15:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/alh17/pjz8pdrg1s6q/wish/354505558 alh17 https://padlet.com/alh17/pjz8pdrg1s6q/wish/354506913 One of the big assignments the students will have to do is create a large map of the classroom with a group of students. They will have to sue color and explain how our the classroom is a community. They will also have to include a map key to go with the map as well as integration of directions. They will then have to write about how community is different in other classrooms and how community might be different in other schools. They will then present with their groups their maps of the classrooms and what they have come to find about community in the classroom. ]]> 2019-04-26 16:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/alh17/pjz8pdrg1s6q/wish/354506913 alh17 https://padlet.com/alh17/pjz8pdrg1s6q/wish/354513102 Bellow is a link for the students to watch a video on what community is.
