Welcome to Social Studies! My name is Craig Tahaney and I teach 6th grade and 8th grade Social Studies! I am so excited to teach your child! I look forward to a wonderful school year! Below is a class summary for both grades:
6th Grade: World CulturesIn sixth grade, students will explore the diverse people and places of the world. We will learn about cultures all over the world while acquiring a better understanding of the history and geography of our world. In particular, students will explore the geography, culture, economy and government of many countries throughout the world. This course will incorporate all Social Studies TEKS standards as found on the Texas Education Agency’s website.
8th Grade: American HistoryIn this course, students will study the founding of our nation through the Civil War and Reconstruction Era. Students will be exposed to the historical, geographical, political and economic events that influenced the development of the United States. This course will incorporate all Social Studies TEKS standards as found on the Texas Education Agency’s website.
All students are strongly encouraged to read for 20 minutes daily.
Each day, I will update the homework page to reflect our classwork and any homework assignments. The link is located at the bottom of this webpage.

St. Catherine School uses Social Studies textbooks with a companion online version. Students should use the online textbook to find resources related to the current chapter of study such as videos, interactive maps, and self check quizzes. Have fun with this electronic resource!
