State Research ProjectWe have started our unit on states and regions in social studies. Each student already has chosen a state other than Wisconsin that he/she wants to learn about this year. The students will begin gathering information on the state. Research outside of school will be necessary to complete the project. A written state report will be required and will be written in class. Also, your student will complete a project using the information they have gathered.
