Introduction

     As a part of my EDUC 520 class, I am required to post responses to my class readings on this blog.  Since the topic of the class is integrating language arts and social studies, I imagine I will find plenty to write about on this page.  I enjoy teaching reading and social studies to my fifth grade students and I'm eager to learn ways to make my teaching more exciting and motivativating for my students.  Of course, it would also be great if I could discover ways to combine some lessons and make my school day easier to manage.
