***My *NEW* Passport to the National Parks class couples well with this 50 states class as we review fun facts about the state the national park is located in! COMING IN JANUARY 2023! https://outschool.com/classes/passport-to-the-parks-lets-travel-and-learn-about-the-us-national-parks-9dFKcDVZ?usid=fueYmyk8&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link. ***

Come travel with Miss Lisa and her dog, Chuck!  Each week, as we travel the country, we'll learn facts about a new state.  We'll travel the country in our own hot air balloons and learn about directions, review skip counting to 50, letters and colors as we soar across the USA.  

Each week as we meet we'll be introduced to a new state. We'll learn where our state is located as we review the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west).  Each student will have their own hot air balloon to decorate and bring to class to travel to our new state, along with a map to color and help find which state we are learning about! (Miss Lisa’s hot air balloon has her silly dog, Chuck in it!) Students can also bring their coloring worksheets to practice letter tracing and colors as we look at  the flag and learn fun facts about our state.  We’ll talk about the state flower, state animal, state bird & state nickname on our fun facts page. Learners will also learn about the weather and share what’s happening in their state too! We’ll also look at pictures and talk about where we’d like to visit in our state and which yummy foods they’d like to try! Finally we’ll look at animals and even learn something silly! 

Students will also be given related content in the form of video links, websites and often worksheets or activities to review and extend their learning after each class as well. Students are also encouraged to share information and items about their state with the class either during class or in the classroom!   Miss Lisa and Chuck are from Ohio!  Can you find it on a map? Where are you from?
