This week in Geography

Nifty Fifty

One of our focuses this week is the introduction to the names and capitals of the 50 states and by next week the student will be able to identify where the state goes on a map. To aid in the lessons we are doing in the classroom, I have provided you with a video via YouTube from the children's show Animanicas  here. I have to warn you, it's catchy!

Another site I found that will help your student practice the placement of the states is an online game that gives them the correct answer after they try to place the state, as well as how many miles off they were.

Both of these online tools are fun, interactive ways for your student to enhance their learning outside of the classroom.
