The TEKS for Social Studies and TEKS Tips

Dear Parents,

All school year long, your child will be learning social studies skills that are found in the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills).

When you have a chance, take a look at the TEKS your child will be learning this year. Whether it's a history TEKS, a geography TEKS, a culture TEKS, or an economics TEKS, you can help your child learn the TEKS at home. For example, the next time you travel, share the map you plan to use with your child. "Read" the map together and talk about the route you will take.

I will give you tips for integrating the TEKS at home at least once each month, so watch for more TEKS TIPS!
