O.K., I have to admit that this post is a little old. I started it awhile ago (actually a few years ago) and somehow never finished it. So I thought I would finish it up and share what the kids did.

As usually, we headed to the library to find some fun, yet educational books about New York! Our favorite book to read about states are the alphabet books. They provide a ton of information and cool facts!

                                                        


The kids worked on their coloring pages....

Brooklyn Bridge Coloring Page

For our New York recipe, we made Cheesecake! It was creamy and delicious. It taste amazing with cherries on top!

You can find the recipe here. This picture does not do this cheesecake any justice. I wish I was better at photographing food!

This will be my last post for our State Study. The kids chose to end it here. They felt they were getting too old for all the coloring pages. I wish we would have been better at completing the states, but whats done is done. Time moves on. I am trying to figure out a way for the kids to study the states again as they enter high school. So stay tuned.....

Till Next Time,

Our State Scrapbook~ Vriginia

Virginia is home to beaches, rivers, valleys, and mountains!

Virginia is the 9th state to join the union.

Our Virginia scrapbook pages were done last year when we started this project. We started with Virginia since it was our state. The scrapbook pages are a not as detailed as they are now since the kids were younger and since it was our first state. We've learned a few things and changed a few things up.

Of course you can't learn about Virginia without learning about some of our famous presidents.

Virginia is called the "Mother of Presidents." We have had 8 presidents come from this state.
You can visit Mount Vernon online and see the home of our first president George Washington!

Our State Study Scrapbook~ New Hampshire

Welcome to New Hampshire!

New Hampshire is a small state located in the northeast United States.
It's nickname is the "Granite State" because of all the granite formations and quarries.

I realized when we started New Hampshre that I really didn't know too much about this state. The only thing I really knew was that it was small and north of New York. I have never been there.
So we headed off to the library for some books.

                                                                                                                                    


We read the various books, filled in our notebooking pages, and got to work on our scrapbooks!
