State Shape Activity

         This week and next week in Social Studies, we are working on a State Shape Activity. It is a project where we are required to pick one of the states/provinces/territories in the U.S. or in Canada. We have to make a shape representing the state/province or territory that we are doing. Mrs. Mishall needs to see any visual that connects to the place we are doing, so we have to be very creative. We are also required to include information on our place. Some of the information may include the capital, population, total area, state facts, sports, and climate. Our boundaries are endless, so we all have to think carefully about what we are going to do with our state/province/territory and show off our creativity. Tonight for homework, we had to write down two states that we wanted to do for the project. There are plenty of places for everyone to do, so everyone should be able to have their own place. I picked Oregon and New Jersey because parts of my family live in those two states. I am really excited about this project and I can't wait to see how it turns out!
