50 States $10
Taught by Maria Estes
Description:
This is a year-long course where we'll use stories,
maps, and activities to explore two states a week!
We will go roughly in order of statehood, so we
can talk about history and geography along the
way. This won't be just a list of state facts! Each
student will keep their work in a binder so they
have a portfolio of sorts at the end of the year.
Though this is a full-year course, students are
welcome to join us for a single semester, and
materials can be provided to cover the missed
states with a parent at another time.
