We finally got New Mexico!!!

Our class received our final state postcard this morning!!!!!!!  We have been hunting for someone who lives or is traveling to New Mexico and we had one student whose dad had a connection.  THANK YOU so much for everyone who helped with this project.  We have received over 100 postcards and learned many new facts about the United States.

Look at all the postcards we collected!!!!

US Geography Play

We have started practicing the songs for our "US Geography" play.  We also read through the script on Thursday and Friday.  Students wrote down their top 5 parts they would like to do.  I will be letting them know which part they each have during the beginning of the week.  It will be helpful for students to read through and practice their parts over the next few weeks.  Our play is on Friday, June 13 with 4T at 1:45.  Friends and family are all welcome to come to see the performance.
