Theatre and Social Studies :)

I must say that I loveddd class on Monday!  I though those two "skits" were the cutest things ever, and definitely something I would LOVE to use in a classroom of my own one day!  Not only were they fun to do, they were actually quite informational!  When I went through school, my elementary teachers taught strictly "by the book".  No joke .. I can barely remember ever getting to do any type of fun activity when it came to the subject of social studies. It was all text. memorization, dates and times and names, and then test after test.  Middle School I never really had "social studies" per say, it was more of a Geography class.  I didn't enter into another History class until I hit High School, and it was taught by the football coach who tended to favor athletes  (I played volleyball) soooo ....... not much went on in the learning department.  Needless to say, i'm not all that knowledgeable when it comes to the social studies topics: history, geography, etc.  When, as a college student, I can participate in and watch those plays and actually learn something, I have full faith that my elementary students will as well!!
