The 4th grade Social Studies class did a very fun project this year. They each began a journal that was to travel around the country. The hope was that it would eventually find it's way back home so the class could see where all the journal had been. I don't know how all the other journals did--I'm told some didn't make it back and some saw more of the country--at least one made it to all 50 states. I do know our daughter's journal made it to people who did a great job writing all about their state and even including some information from the Internet or postcards. Not all the journals coming back were filled--not even the one that made it to all 50 states. This journal was completely full and even had pages added to the back. Thank you Aunt Cassie for setting the tone. What an amazing way to learn all about our country. It definitely makes us want to visit in person someday. :)
