アメリカを探検しよう！秋学期

In this semester  beginning geography class, students will be introduced to two states each week for thirteen weeks. We will meet twice a week for 13 weeks for 30 minutes each class. Students will learn about the geographical characteristics and climate of each state and be introduced to a National or State Park located in the state. Students will learn to locate the state on the map and learn what the state capital city is. Students will  learn about the state's symbols, such as: state bird and animals, state flower, state tree, state insect. Students will learn the state's nickname or motto an different fun foods and activities you might find in each state.   This is a teacher led class using pictures, power points and group games. A coloring page is provided each week. Students will be given the opportunity to share their experiences about the state and what they may like about the state.   I believe that students learn best in a fun, active environment which will nurture a  love of learning.
