Our unit study of the United States included lots of map labeling so we studied the "Classroom Atlas" of North America and surfed the web. We also reviewed the location of the 50 states - something we learned during Adventures.
One of the activities included putting the states in alphabetical order. I was so impressed that my 6 year old daughter had them almost perfect. I'll be honest, I felt a bit prideful. But I quickly realized it had nothing to do with my teaching abilities. Little Bit started singing Alabama and Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas..... LOL
