We started first grade with Agent E and part of our agenda for this semester is studying the 50 states. (You can read a little update following our first month of school here.)
Today I'm sharing ten state resources we have found useful in our homemade curriculum. I'm linking this post at Many Little Blessings for Top Ten {Tuesday}.

| Silly dress up time (and a glimpse of #9 on this list) |
This link is a wealth of all sorts of interesting information, including state maps, state songs, state trees, and a separate section of study tools.
These five websites are a great place to start if you're looking for some fun state facts and basic printables adaptable for different age ranges.
7. 50 Great States and Explore All 50 States workbooks.
Tip: Look for these in the dollar section of Target . . . that's where we found ours!

| 300 very odd shaped pieces . . . harder than it looks |
This puzzle of the 50 states (see photo of Agent E) is a cool concept, although difficult to put together. Once you've completed the puzzle as seen, you can flip 50 of the pieces over to form a new puzzle.
This huge (just over 2.5 feet by 4 feet) colorful map is a hit with all three Agents.
10. States and Their Symbols book series.
We've been taking these out one at a time from our local library.
Have you studied the United States with your homeschooler? What resources would you recommend?
Thanks for reading and have a blessed day.
