Weekly States Quiz

For 5th grade, kids are required to know where the fifty states are on a U.S. map. Therefore, in Social Studies for fourth quarter I will be giving the students a weekly states quiz every Friday, beginning this Friday, March 15. We took a pretest today in class. Your child will get their pretests back tomorrow to see which states they labeled correctly. The students will know that they got a state correct if I highlighted the name of the state. If it is not highlighted, then it is incorrect.  Each Friday they will need to know 5 new states in addition to the old ones that they already knew. For example, if they got 5 states correct on their pretest today, then for Friday they will need to know 10 (the 5 correct ones and an additional 5 new ones). Once they've achieved their goal of labeling all 50 states, they will become a member of the Fifty Nifty Club and they will then move on to learning the capitals of each state.
