Hey there!
So, I have been doing state reports for years and I always felt like they could be so much more. I love doing them during our Flat Stanley adventures so the kids can really compare our state to the states that Stanley visited. I was also always surprised at the lack of literature out there on our states. So I decided to start a huge project and make a mini-unit of each state. Each state will be available individually and I intend to bundle the states by region and of course the entire United States. I am hoping that it brings a little more fun to learning about our 50 states.
The first state completed is California.
