Texas teacher friends! If you teach Social Studie

Texas teacher friends! If you teach Social Studies, I’m sure you know our TEKS have been updated for this year. The numbers of the TEKS have changed in most cases and the processing standards have changed.

Some grade levels have more changes than others, but all have updated TEKS numbers.

If you have to post your TEKS on the wall, I have a time saver for you! Check out these I can statements …… just print and post. Save your sanity!

I have them for grades 3-12.

Go to my store and search “I Can” to find your grade level. Link in bio.

1950s Soda Fountain Day!
We had Coke/Root Beer Floats and lots of junk food while we studied the 1950s today.

I made a sign up genius for all of the supplies/food and my parents came through big time!

In stations, studied conformity and the role of women, TV/advertising/consumerism, moving to the suburbs/Levittowns, interstate Highway Systems/fast food/car culture, Rock N Roll, teenage culture and the Beatniks. (We’ve already covered the Cold War)

Ended the class period watching I Love Lucy and 1950s TV commercials.

Days like today remind me why I love to teach history. Soooo many “this was so fun” comments today. My heart is full.

And my teammates rock!
