For those of you that have talked with me in the last month, you know that my life has been busy with the "Fifth Grade State Fair". Throughout the year, each student in my three social studies classes is responsible for researching a state. Beginning in March, I teach them how to keyboard, use word art, change font (sizes, type, colors) and then they begin typing the information found during research time. Each student has a presentation board that they decorate and display their typed information on. Finally, we have a "State Fair Day". Each student stands by their presentation board and acts as a travel representative for their state....the goal is to get as many tourists as you can to visit your state. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. are invited to come in and act as the tourists. Tourists are encouraged to ask the travel representative a question about their state. (Examples of questions...What is the state capital? What is the state bird? Who is the current governor?) If the travel representative answers it correctly without looking at their board, the tourist signs a guest log. Each student is required to get 30 signatures.
