I have at least two more states to write about, and these help me get organized for my posts over at ABC and 123 that I’m writing once a month on geography.
Yeah……. not a lot. Just no really great books at my library.
Activities:
P.T. Barnum and the circus– there’s so much you could do with this, but we limited it to about 30 minutes of activities, and the page I added in after the fact.
Nathan Hale– I have to admit I’ve always admire him, and when I found out he was Connecticut’s state hero, than I HAD to do something with him, and I found the perfect book.
Yankee Doodle– the state song. To the right are my kid’s illustrations of their verses.
Make a state symbol book– link is to the printable,
Our final activity was our ill-fated experiment to try and make “rubber balls.” Yeah……… Not so much, heep big mess, yes.
Other things to study, which I didn’t get a chance to do: Benedict Arnold and robins
Sigh, so depressing, it feels like there should be so much more I could do with this state……..
I’m gonna link this over to:
I really like the circus picture of a person standing on a horse =)
I think you did pretty well on this state study! I am yet to put our country studies in the folder – maybe this weekend.
I get discouraged sometimes, but I have realized that some states are just easier to expand upon than others. I like what you did though!
