What is social studies...

First, I need to apologize for not updating last night.  With all of the rain, flooding, leaking, and other problems that occurred, blogging just wasn't on my mind.

Yesterday, we discussed procedures including starting class, the QOD (Question of the Day), and various other instructional practices used in my class. 

Today, we began to explore the world of social studies.  We determined what the five themes of social studies are:  History, Geography, Political Science, Economics, and Behavioral Sciences.  In small groups, we began to define and explain those very important aspects.  Tomorrow we will continue to work on making our social studies webs and discussing these topics.

Is anyone watching President Obama's address?  What do you think?
