Week of 10.23.17-10.27.17

Please have a Social Studies folder, notebook and pencil for class. 




Monday 10.23.17--We will begin our states and capitals unit. There is an excellent video that reviews the states and capitals called, "Tour of the US." A link to the video can be found on my website. It's a catchy tune that the kids love and helps them to remember the capitals. Students will also be given information about a States and Regions project. Students will need parent permission for the project they've selected. State/region projects are due Monday, 11/6. Look for the details to come home today.
