Social Studies 

We are ready to embark on our six week journey around the United States by region. Each week, we will study a new region; the climate, attractions, animals, capital cities and states.

The students will have a quiz each week on the states and capital cities from that region. Students will be expected to correctly spell the state name and correctly locate it on a map. Additionally, students will be asked to match the state's name to its corresponding capital city.

This week, we will talk about what are the five regions and then begin looking at the region we live in, The Southwest. There will be a quiz on the Southwest region next Wednesday, September 4th.
