Social+Studies

Social Studies
 * 1) We will be studying communities.
 * 2) We will create our own make-believe community with our own location, mayor, history, culture, and customs.
 * 3) The students will need to know how to locate the different continents and oceans.

Here are the lyrics to the states and capitals song that we have been learning (taken from the Animaniacs):

Baton Rouge Louisianna, Indianapolis Indiana, and Columbus is the capital of O-hi-o.

There's Montgomery Alabama, south of Helena Montana then there's Denver Colorado, and Boise Idaho.

Texas has Austin then we go north, to Massachusetts Boston and Albany New York.

Tallahassee Florida and Washington D.C., Sante Fe New Mexico and Nashville Tennessee. Elvis used to hang out there a lot, you know.

Trenton's in New Jersey north of Jefferson Missouri, You got Richmond in Virginia, South Dakota has Pierre, Harrisburg's in Pennsylvania and Augusta's up in Maine, and here is Providence Rhode Island next to Dover Deleware.

Concord, New Hampshire, just a quick jaunte, to Montpelier, which is up in Vermont, Hartford's in Connecticut so pretty in the fall, and Kansas has Topeka Minnesota has St. Paul.

Juneau's in Alaska and there's Lincoln in Nebraska and it's Raleigh out in North Carolina, and then, there's Madison Wisconsin and Olympia in Washington, Pheonix Arizona and Lansing Michigan.

Here's Honolulu, Hawaii's a joy Jackson Mississip-pi and Springfield Illinois, South Carolina with Columbia down the Way, and Annapolis in Maryland on Chesapeake Bay, They have wonderful clam chowder.

Cheyenne is in Wyoming and perhaps you make your home in Salt Lake City out in Utah where the buffalo roam. Atlanta's down in Georgia and there's Bismark North Dakota, and you can live in Frankfurt in your own Kentucky home.

Sa-lem, in Oregon, from there we join, Little Rock in Arkansas, Iowa's got Des Moines Sacramento California, Oklahoma and it's City, Charleston West Virginia and Nevada Carson City.

That's all the capitals, there are!
