@GlasgowMS Civics students spent #NationalConstitutionDay breaking down the text of the 1st Amendment, and discussing which of the 1A Freedoms has the most impact on their lives. The next generation of leaders knows their values AND their rights! #civicseducation
Had so much fun celebrating a year well-planned with the best CT around! We finished off with a potluck and Civics End of the Year Awards. Thankful for a team as supportive & dedicated to kids as this one. Onto next year! @GlasgowMS#GMSCivics
Last week all 8th grade @GlasgowMS students had the chance to attend presentations w/ @ConstitutingUSA and we had a blast!! Not to brag, but our Panthers came ready to show off their Constitutional knowledge & aced the quiz ๐ #CivicsEducation#knowyourrights ๐บ๐ธ
The million dollar Sabol bucks have returned ๐ students took on the role of #Cabinet Secretaries and tried to convince President Sabol that their exec. dept. deserved another $1,000,000 in the budget! We had a lot of fun researching exec. branch agencies & programs! #gmscivics
When the best coach ever @CarmenAndersen gifts your team their own GAVELS for our upcoming mock Congress >>>> ๐ค๐ฅณ Nothing gets #GMSCivics teachers excited like parliamentary procedure! @GlasgowMS
Because we donโt do anything halfway over here, today @GlasgowMS#Civics returned from Winter Break and immediately jumped back in w/ a field trip to JA Finance Park! It was an awesome hands on application of financial literacy skills ๐ฐโ๏ธ
Students wrapped up our Political Process unit by creating mind maps. ๐ง ๐บ These 5 made our โMake Yourself Proudโ board- such great thinking serves as a great role model for peers looking to make edits to their own work! ๐ @GlasgowMS@FCPSR2@FcpsSocial
Born #OTD in 1884, Eleanor Roosevelt was called โFirst Lady of the World.โ Marrying FDR, they formed a powerful political team. She was an advocate for children, workers, women & minorities, constantly traveling & speaking out for positive change.
How have you made yourself proud today? Maybe by advocating for yourself?! Our individuals and societies teachers are always gathering student experiences and voices! @GlasgowMS@FCPSR2
Semi-hesitantly decided to include daily notebook use in my class this yearโฆdefinitely felt like I made the right choice when I walked by this studentโs self-designed review page today! Giving students flexible note taking & journal response options has been ๐ฏ so far.
Nothing like a little class competition to shake things up! Students raced to sort terms into โ#Civicsโ and โNot Civicsโ categories as we started the year off by discussing what #8thgrade Social Studies is going to be all about #FirstDayFairfax
Circular Flow came to life the past 2 days in Civics! Ss were given the role of a business or a household and had to trade resources for $$ to end w/as many finished products as possible. Who knew Econ could be this much fun?! (tbh, even I was skeptical at first!) @GlasgowMS
This week, I dug out my college graduation robes to turn class into Judge Sabolโs courtroom๐ฉ๐ปโโ๏ธ students had a great time taking on the role of prosecutors, defense attorneys, and members of the jury! #MockTrial#Civics#courtisinsession@GlasgowMS
@DezH_ca@TheGoldenRatio4 Thank you!! Sheโs 55 lbs full of love and zoomies. She was diagnosed with epilepsy last June and at first it was a seizure only every 3-4 monthsโฆ weโre averaging 1 every week now. Trying to find the right combo of meds etc. that works. We root hard for Voodoo, too!
