Regions of the USA Party

For the past two months, students have been learning about the Northeast, Midwest, South, and West regions of the U.S.A.  We spent time researching each region and learning about the following topics:

- Bodies of water, landforms
- cities, states, resources
- climate, weather
- plants, animals
- interesting facts

Needless to say there was a LOT of information to sift through and students had to read, analyze, and synthesize information from books, maps, and online sources.  When all the research was complete, students picked one region to create a brochure.  The goal was to entice people to visit their region.  As evident from our Regions Party, they did a great job!  Students, parents, and teachers enjoyed learning about the different regions and what they had to offer.  Each visitor voted on their favorite region.  It was a tough choice, but the MIDWEST took first place! 

Here are a few pictures from the celebration...
