It's always the perfect time for a road trip! Why take a road trip in a car when you can take a hot air balloon? Come fly with me! Pack your bags, and get ready for the ultimate hot air balloon adventure. In this 6 week geography camp, students will get to take a hot air balloon ride to a new mystery destination each and every week. They will learn about different states as we travel around the United States of America. We will go through a slideshow as if we are on a hot air balloon landing at a new destination each week. Students will be sent a one page handout that they can complete during class. This handout will contain clues that will help them guess which state we will be learning about for that specific week. Students will learn what makes each state unique and special. 
Some of what they will learn each week include: state flag, state animal, state bird, state nickname, capital, and exciting landmarks. We will get to discover some hidden gems in each state. We will go on adventures, and learn fun facts. Students will also be sent a blank map of the United States so they can color in each state as we learn about it. The slideshow presented during class is filled with many photographs and videos to keep the students engaged throughout. This class is full of fun to help your children retain what they are learning. I'm excited for a new adventure each week.
We will be meeting once a week. No prior knowledge is necessary. Each week will be a different state, but it will not be announced to the children ahead of time. Part of the fun is having children use the clues to guess which state we are visiting. :) 
Our road trip will be to the following states (***Please do NOT share the states ahead of time with the students as part of the fun is having them guess** :))
Week 1: Montana
Week 2: South Carolina
Week 3: New Mexico
Week 4: Alaska

Week 6: Idaho
