State Projects

I know the children have been working hard at home to complete their diorama and paragraphs. At the same time, they have been working hard in school to learn all about their states.

Today they received a checklist to help them keep track of their work. They are working to:

*read and complete a research sheet (to collect information about their state)
*write a paragraph with a topic sentence and several details to support it
*draw pictures of their state flower, state bird or animal, and state tree
*list 5 interesting facts about their state
*draw and color their state flag

Ask them questions at home about how things are going. I assure you they are all working hard!

P.S. Ask them what we reviewed about capitalizing proper nouns!
