Fifty States Unit

We began our new social studies unit with much excitement. This was the beginning of learning about the Fifty States and the much anticipated State Float Parade. We started by learning about the globe, the continents, and the location of the equator and other parts of the globe. We then discussed the idea of resources because the next part is to research a state and answer the essential question: How has your state successfully used its resources? We chose a state to research and off we went. We are working on the State Float packet at home, and in school we are learning the location of all fifty states. Some of us are challenging ourselves to learn the state capitals as well. We will write a travel brochure at school and read these travel brochures to you during the State Float Parade. We can't wait to show you what we have been working on. See you on May 24th!
