This is a fascinating video. It is “Six Minutes in Ms. McDonald’s Fifth Grade Social Studies Class.”
Ms. McDonald is a teacher in Nashville Prep, a high-scoring charter school in Nashville, Tennessee.
You may have read about it here. The founder, Ravi Gupta, has plans to expand and create a chain. He already has a school in Mississippi.
Were you ever in a social studies class like this one?
