Primary Research Projects and Back to School!
Well, I made it through my first day back after 3 full weeks off for winter break. I know you probably don't feel too sorry for me, but let's just say a 45 minute nap at 4:30 was desperately needed this afternoon! Actually, the kids were great and jumped right back into our routine. It was like we were never gone!
Before break, my team and I decided to do a research project since we had been reading the book 'Greetings from Route 66' in reading. So, of course, I had to get it organized to make it work for our kids. Each of the classes chose different states and the ones my kids ended up with were {Illinois}, {Kansas}, {Nevada}, {North Dakota}, and {Virginia}. Here's the way it went:
 |
| Easy-to-read, small booklets for kid to use to research their state. |
 |
| Easy-to-read and easy-to-assemble booklets to help students research their states. |
The kids did a great job and had a wonderful time researching their state with their groups. If you'd like to give it a try you can check out the {pack with all 5 states} or pick up the pack for your favorite state {Illinois}, {Kansas}, {Nevada}, {North Dakota}, or {Virginia}.
Do you think I should make booklets for other states? If so, what states should I work on next?
Thanks for stopping by! Oh, and don't forget to check out my new blog {Who's Who and Who's New} to read a new educational article by amazing educators each and every day! I have learned so much already and we just got started January 1, 2014!

Hilary, These are fantastic. Yes, my Multi-agers and I would love Wisconsin. We would be so cheesy proud to have our state represented!

Great resource! There are so many resources and books for Massachusetts history, but rarely age-appropriate! If you make one, I'd love to purchase one :)
ReplyDeleteAnd, as a native North Dakotan, I couldn't resist putting that one on my wish list ;)

Second Grade is Out of This World!
There are certain probable provisions cited with effective guides and there is a need to getting over every possible research projects as given in detail. non plagiarized research papers
