Welcome to Social Studies!
I am thrilled to be on the exciting adventure of learning social studies with you. We will travel to far away places (in our imaginations) and learn new skills together. Did you know that people have a wide range of learning styles (students, and adults, learn in different ways)? In our classroom, simulations, mock trials, mini-dramas, storytelling and a wide variety of interactive lessons will be integrated with more familiar methods of teaching. Each unit incorporates as many different learning styles as possible for you to be as successful as possible. While you are responsible for learning, I am here to help you any way I can. So as this year progresses, stay in touch with me and let me know how you're doing, what your favorite projects were, why, and anything else you would like to share.
Mrs. LeVan's Bio
Education: Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Roberts Wesleyan College in Upstate New York,
International Politics and Law at The American College of Switzerland
Certified teacher in NY and OK
Fun Factoids:
I worked in Europe for 6 1/2 years.
I've been to around 30 countries.
I have two wonderful children, one super duper husband, and one goofy dog named "Biscuit."
I've been on more than 20 transcontinental flights, and hundreds of intercontinental flights, but, I don't like flying.
Where in the World has Mrs. LeVan Been?
Can you guess which capital city Mrs. LeVan has not been to; Paris, Budapest, London, Madrid or Rome?
