Final Post

During the extent of my life with social studies, I've viewed this subject as boring and unimportant.  Now that I have experienced social studies from a different perspective, I understand how important and dynamic it is and can be in the classroom.  I have witnessed how social studies is now in the classroom and why it is important to know how to teach it.  The lack of this subject in the classroom is disappointing and inspiring because it motivates me to want to improve how it is represented to the students and the school.  I am thankful to have a teacher dedicated enough to this subject to inspire a classroom full of students to want to make a difference and appreciative of the difference that can make.  I hope that my new lease on social studies holds true while I teach and encourages other teachers to follow in the process.
