States

 Patrick is currently learning about the 50 states.  I have flash cards that I found with the Great and Beautiful LA curriculum for free.  Each time we learn about a new state it's added to the flashcards.  He also fills out a page from the state pack from 1plus1plus1equals1.net.  We watch some short videos on the basics about the state along with some additional fun information.  I'm trying to make it fun while helping him learn more about the states.  We also do a food and additional activity.  There were some foods that I had planned that didn't actually happen such as the deviled eggs and we still need to do the clam chowder.  But we did almost everything.  He also did little quizzes where he had to match numbered states to the state or capital.
