Welcome to New Jersey!
We have completed our Delaware and Pennsylvania state studies. We are now learning about the 3rd state to join statehood.
New Jersey became a state on December 18, 1787.

The state dance is the square dance. Yes, the square dance.
I know when I think of New Jersey square dancing does not come to mind.
So we did a little do-si-do.
For those of you who don't remember how to square dance. I know it had been a few years since I had done it.
Here is a wonderful site that explains it in easy terms.
Blueberries became the state fruit in 2004.

We decided to make a lemon blueberry cake.
Yummy!
You can find the recipe here.
We made blueberry smoothies!
All I used was our blender and a few simple ingredients.
1 cup water
1 cup blueberries
a few handfuls of ice
a little bit of sugar
Blend and drink!
Here are our finished New Jersey scrapbook pages!

ReplyDeleteThank you fro stopping by!
DeleteLooks awesome! My husband is from New Jersey. I just asked him if he ever saw anyone square dancing in NJ, and, as laughing, said a most definitive "no." :-)
ReplyDeleteLisa, my dad is from NJ and I highly doubt he ever square danced....maybe in school when he was little.
DeleteWow, very impressive! Your kids are so very lucky and blessed to have such a power house teacher! Awesome job! Love the scrapbook pages, the recipe, everything:)

Thank you, Chris. The kids have really enjoyed learning about the states so far. We are studying Georgia next and I have found some more information to add to our study. Hopefully the kids will enjoy it.
DeleteThis looks Great! I have yet to do a State Unit Study, but am planning on it soon. I just bought some Flash cards that has each states info on them & this US State Symbols Games ( http://www.learninggamesforkids.com/us-state-games.html ), but that it's so far.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
Thanks for the game ideas. I was just looking into more ways to add some fun learning to our lessons. Thanks for the link.
DeleteHow fun! How long do you spend on each state? I have a great state study "book" downloaded from years ago, but we've never used it. Your post has me thinking about how fun and interesting it might be to do a state study next year!
ReplyDeleteWe spend about 2-3 weeks on each state. If we have a lot going on during a week it takes longer. The kids have really enjoyed the state study. I keep finding things to add to the state study. We might end up studying a state for a month if I keep finding goodies.
