The focus was to create standards that honored the key concepts of the various disciplines while immersing students in the practices of inquiry. Disciplines of thought guided the work rather than emphasis on content specific terms and events. Under these new standards, social studies instruction will purposefully couple the development of critical thinking skills with relevant, thematic, real-world content acquisition. These standards will embrace the Common Core initiative and marry them to the world of social studies. These new standards will truly honor civic mindedness, economic decision-making, geographic reasoning, and historical thinking as evolutionary disciplines of thought that call students to action. The new standards will foster interdisciplinary instructional units while intentionally bolstering students’ reading, writing and higher order thinking skills. With continued hard work and legislative action, hopefully the new social studies standards will be making their way to schools later this year. We are truly on the verge of something new and wonderful. Ms Griffin- The Fall For those who don’t know… our very own Ms. Griffin is a published, accomplished author. Below is a review from Kirkus on her soon to be latest Book “The Fall”. OUTSTANDING! THE FALL [STARRED REVIEW!] Author: Bethany Griffin ISBN ( Hardcover ): 978-0-06-210785-5 ISBN ( e-book ): 978-0-06-210787-9 Category: Fiction A girl struggles to fight the haunted family house that binds her to it in this reimagining of Edgar Allan Poes The Fall of the House of Usher. Madeline and her brother, Roderick, come from a long line of Ushers cursed to live and die within the haunted walls of the House of Usher. Beloved by the house itself, Madeline can sense its feelings and for a long while trusts it to protect her. However, just like her mother before her, Madeline begins suffering fits. The house will do anything to keep her from leaving. And with her brother away at school and only sinister doctors remaining for company, Madeline must plot to escape before the house has its way with her, keeping her trapped forever. Griffin creates a thick, murky atmosphere within the walls of the House of Usher from the start, layering in chilling details as Madelines situation becomes ever more dire. Though only appearing intermittently, Roderick and her parents all cast long shadows, and the house is populated with compelling characters among the ghosts of Ushers past. Readers will be swept away immediately by the eerie setting, but its Madelines fighting will to survive that will keep them turning pages late into the night. A standout take on the classic haunted-house tale replete with surprises around every shadowy corner.
