Homewood Park - "Learn about Alabama"


Today was a field trip followed by a back to school party for Essential (our cover school) and Highlands Homeschoolers (a support group that organizes a lot of our field trips). We all met at Homewood Park to have our "Learn about Alabama" kickoff study.

Ms. Kristy went over a lot of facts about the state that we have been discussing along with going over some we haven't. The girls got to look at pictures of everything she covered. She also had some things they could touch and feel to see them also.

The girls were able to state the facts they have been learning and have a lot of fun doing so. They played bingo (with cheerios) as Ms. Kristy called out facts about our state. I had to help P with the reading some but she did a great job!


They also colored pictures of state symbols, did mazes, some riddles about our reptiles and so much more. It was very hot but they had a good time. Each one also sang the first verse to the Alabama State song - they were very proud to know it!!

Great first meeting for our Alabama study.
