Description:

We are going on a cross-country trip exploring the United States of America. We will learn about our national capital and symbols, and then visit all fifty states. This class is full of colorful maps and fact pages that help us learn each state’s capital, major cities, attractions, bird, flower, flag, and motto. We will also discuss each state’s history, famous citizens, and foods. Each week we will talk about 1-2 states, filling out a fact page for each, as we watch a PowerPoint and video to place us right in that state. Students will also have the opportunity to give an oral report on a state of their choosing. There is no required homework outside of class other than preparation for the oral report and several optional activities.
