Social Studies Update

Parents,

Beginning Monday (9-12-11) we will start learning the states, capitals, abbreviations, and locations of the states in the Northeast Region of the US. These states include:

·        Maine

·        New Hampshire

·        Vermont

·        New York

·        Pennsylvania

·        Massachusetts

·        Rhode Island

·        Connecticut

·        New Jersey

·        Delaware

Students will get a study guide on Monday with the state name, capital, and abbreviation code. They will have approximately 2 weeks to learn these. Please encourage them to study these at home. If they will study a few each night, they’ll know them in no time flat!

          The first time they take a test like this it is obvious who studied and who didn’t. I want ALL students to be successful in school and will encourage them to study each night. We will not be spending a lot of class time reviewing this information. However, It will be talked about briefly each day.

          Social Studies is my favorite subject and I hope the students enjoy it too!

Mrs. Reeves
