USA   STATE   TOURISM   CONVENTION

Part of the 4th grade Social Studies curriculum involves studying the different regions of the United States. Each student in our class and Mr. Kliss's class chose a state to research and then became the state tourism director for that state. First we read books and researched using the internet so we could write our reports. Next we created a large map of our state and labeled the capital, major cities, and important landforms. Then we designed timelines to show important dates about each state. In addition, we wrote letters to the real state tourism directors and received brochures, pamphlets, and maps. As a culmination, we held a USA State Tourism Convention and invited other students and our families to visit us at our state booth. They were amazed to see all of the work we had done and and what we had learned!!
