A 50 States Party

A postcard mailed from each of the 50 States has been received by the First Grade students at St. Columbkille Catholic School. That meant that they got to have a 50 States Party today.

Each student could wear items from a states. Then they were asked if they could name the capital of that state. Each state could count once in their points and they would also receive one point for every correct capital.

The students colored in their map

 for every state represented.

Then each class calculated their scores.

Students had also brought

treats representing states....

 ... which they got to enjoy while watching

 a movie about the states.

It was a fun activity on Mardi Gras!

States Party

The first grade students at St. Columbkille

Catholic School have been studying states.

Yesterday they wore shirts from different states.

Each class got one point for every state represented

by their clothes. They got another point if

they knew the capital of the state(s).

 

Then the classes celebrated together.

 

Most of the snacks represented states or something about them.

So if you have a question about a state

or it's capital, just ask a 1st grade student.

States Party

The First Grade classes received a postcard from all 50 states. So yesterday they had a 50 States Party. Students wore shirts representing states.

 

 On maps, the class would color each state represented by their class.

Each class got one point for every state represented. If a state was represented more than once, the class didn't receive any more points for that, but they did get a point every time a student could name the capital of the state(s) the represented.

 Then there were treats for the party.

 

 

Thank you to everyone who sent the classes

postcards or prepared the wonderful state snacks.

With a Marble Party two weeks ago, Valentine's Day last week

and the States Party yesterday, we wonder what will happen next week?

Battle of the States

Yesterday there was a States Party.

The first grade class has received postcards from all 50 states.

They are studying states and capitals.

Yesterday everyone got to wear clothes from a state.

Then each class got one point for every state represented.

And another point if the student knew the capital.

Mrs. Loeffler's class had over 100 points.

Then both classes watched a video about the states.

There was a lot of food, some with state themes.

It was a lot of fun.
