My comments on tutoring Elementary Social Studies : This subject was taught twice weekly in a 30 minute block. Since most of my 20 years of teaching were 4th grade, the study of TEXAS is dominant. The study of maps, regions, States, and citizenship are also included in my experience.
I am a retired elementary school teacher with 30 years of experience. The grade levels I have taught are 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. All my experience has been with self-contained classrooms, which means that I am able teach art, music, and physical education. My fluency in Spanish has also qualified me to teach a DUAL-LANGUAGE 6th grade class. My sense of humor and listening skills are characteristics that make me a successful teacher.
I am not the traditional teacher. I believe in using centers and interactive notebooks as teaching tools. By using drama, creativity, projects, and art, my lessons become alive and keep the students motivated. RESPECT is a must in my classroom. Each child knows that he is respected and safe when he becomes a member of my classroom community.
