DSSDSSWhat?

Hi Super Social Studies Students!

We often ask you the important question, by yelling loudly,"DSS DSS WHAT?!" And you respond by yelling back, "DSS DSS T!"  I love it.  Keep yelling proudly.

But what I hear when I hear today you learn a new response to that age ol' question.  What they are really yelling is "D(iscover) S(ocial) S(tudies), D(iscover) S(ocial) S(tudies) WHAT?!" And the correct response can be, "THEN!" or "TODAY!" or "TOMORROW!"

In Social Studies this year you will be exploring how people interacted back then, in Medieval times, by comparing it to what you experience today.  We are constantly learning from the past to help us influence tomorrow.  Please use this website as a way to enhance your learning.

We have seven months to make you geography masters, medieval history interpreters, economic analysts, religion researchers, and fluent non fiction readers and writers.  We start now.

*Please do not actually yell what I tell you to do when we are in a school group--do not want to ruin the fun:)
