Welcome to my amazing, hard-working, state project students!
I am excited to continue working with you on your state projects. Be sure to keep researching, writing sentences on your cards, and decorating final templates. Every week I will post a video lesson that will explain other pages we will be completing and activities related to our project.
I can't wait to see your final books!
