Our first social studies test will be on Thursday. In class, we've been learning about the 4 types of social scientists through reading and activities. Thanks to everyone who helped find artifacts for the students to share in class! What a fun day! We had some amazing artifacts in and it made the ideas come to life for the students.
Strategies for studying the information.....
1. Cut out the vocab terms and definitions that the students completed in class (found in their chapter 1 packet) and have them match them up.
2. Challenge your child to complete the ABC brainstorming that we began in class. They are to think of words related to Chapter 1 that will complete the ABC chart. This requires them to do some deeper thinking because many of the words were not in the chapter but are tied to it based on what your child knows. For example .... B - Buildings (because buildings are a human resource that a geographer might study).
3. As your child the questions on the review sheet (they filled in the answers in class).
4. Have your child ask you the questions and then explain the answers to you. They may stump you on some :)
