Welcome to 21st Century Skills Class
About Our Class
21st Century Skills Class provides an enriched learning environment through technology, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking skills. We will be creating projects based on the NC science and social studies curriculum. These projects will also be linked to Mrs. Doub's art class, Mrs. Wright's library class, and their grade level simultaneously.

During this project, the students will be learning about career skills and different types of jobs that help our communities like construction workers, doctors, firefighters, police, and mail people.

Second Grade

In this unit, we will focus on the 10 sections of government services. The students will use technology to interact with the sections, watch videos, learn songs, play games, and finally create a PowerPoint presentation on their learnings. They will also be going on a field trip in October to visit some of our local Yadkin County government services in Yadkinville.

Students will learn about their community, county, country, and continent. They will also learn how they may be different from people that live a different region and how to use a globe.
Fourth Grade
T is for Tarheel Project
In each class, the students will learn about what makes North Carolina special by reading the book, "T is for Tar Heel; A North Carolina Alphabet". They will then work in groups on an assigned topic correlating with their letter of the alphabet. The students will have to research their topic, answer questions, and then use their findings to type a paragraph and print it to put with a class art project being done by Mrs. Doub, the art teacher at West Yadkin.
Fifth Grade

The students will be learning about the Native Americans of this continent, how they arrived, and how the regions affected their daily lives.
