Speaker: Pattie Murphy, 2nd Grade Teacher, MD
What do you love about Studies Weekly?
Pattie Murphy: I mean, I can tell you, I really like it. I've been teaching for 26 years and I've never really had a social studies curriculum that works as well as this one does. And it is so nicely aligned with what we're doing in reading, in science. And that's one of the things I love about it and it's so accessible for all of the kids. I love the technology component. I love the materials that they're using. The kids really enjoy it. And, so, it was funny because I actually went to a professional development last year where they were talking about and I was like, 'Hmm, what's going on?' I'm always a little leery of new curriculum. And so when I saw this, I thought, 'Oh my gosh, this is everything that we've been talking about, how we wished someone would come up with this.' And, you know, just super user-friendly something that you don't have to spend hours creating things because it's already done for you.
