Homework Offered
Some students may want to actively participate in class and research the upcoming state in order to bring interesting, fun, and factual information to the class. 

Students will be required to write a 5-sentence paragraph about the state we just visited. The student will have 3 days after the class is completed to turn in the paragraph to the teacher. The teacher will review the paragraph and send feedback to each student. 

In addition, each student may want to make their own scrapbook for all the states they have visited.

After enrollment, the student will receive the information on the new state we are visiting. There will be some information on this handout, but it is encouraged for each student to find additional information about each state.
