teachermom2834 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 something with a map of the state and blanks to fill in the capital, state nickname, abreviation, etc. Surely this exists. I'm looking for something simple I can use with my K - 5th students together. Anyone know where I can find something like this? (for free on the internet would be best). Thanks, Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pster Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Not free but worth taking a look at is: Geo-Scribe. It is $12 for the cd. Covers a lot of geography material also.... They have samples at the site you can check out. Also not free but something I'm going to get the kids started on is Trail Guide to US Geography. I mention that because it can be done with different levels and will cover several years of teaching. I do have a worksheet that has this on: State Name State Map State Flag State Capital State Nickname Date Admitted Motto State Bird State Flower State Tree State Abbreviation Rank But....dont' know how to attach it to here. Pm or email if interested & I'll somehow attach it for you. hth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllSmiles Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 We are using the geography sheets from Kid Zone for part of our geography unit. There are multiple pages for each state which include a map, flag, state bird, and state flower. We add the abbreviation to the map page. There is also a site called Black Dog's United States Coloring Book. This site has a single page for each state. There is a map to which the capital can be labled and other points of interests marked as desired. At the bottom of the page, there are spaces to fill in the nickname, state bird, and state flower.

AllSmiles Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Also, check out Deanna's (Through the Narrow Gate) fabulous geography lesson plans. She has made state booklets for her kids and has shared all of her hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teachermom2834 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 I knew I'd get lots of answers from you ladies! I think Enchanted Learning is going to have everything I need and I'll have a K student this year (which I haven't had in a while) so I will be able to get my money's worth out of the membership. Thanks everyone. Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
