Geography/History South Dakota

When I asked Selena which State she wanted to study, she remembered that our friends had been in a State with a big mountain of heads. I asked her if she meant Mount Rushmore, she said, “Yes!” I told her she was looking for South Dakota. She went to our map on the wall and found it with no problem.

She then went straight for our blank US map and once again found it with great ease. Sometimes she even amazes me how she can go from the map on the wall to a blank US map and know exactly where the State is without any reference or help.

What color do you think she colored this State? Any guesses? Of course she had to color it blue since the flag is blue. Now I will be honest I have had to help her color the last couple of weeks. She has had very little interest in doing any coloring at all. She wants to do the cutting, gluing, and putting the pages in her book, but has not wanted to color.

She was very excited to see what a Coyote looks like since that is their State animal, along with a Walleye which is the State fish, as well as the Ring Neck Pheasant the State Bird. I love the way she goes back and forth between wanting to see and learn all the facts and forget all the little things like putting the pages together, to all about getting the pages together and forget the facts.

She did however enjoy seeing Mount Rushmore, of course in a picture.

Now it is your turn to share with us what you are doing in your homes in Geography and History.
