Great states books

Here are a few books the students have enjoyed during our "road trip" across the country. I was only able to share snippets from them, but you may want to check out from the public library this summer:
Our final destination will be the Southwest states (Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas) before we head back to Jacksonville for the SUMMER (3 1/2 more school days, but who's counting? :-)). Students will be quizzed on this region Wednesday June 6. Our students have been loving geography! If your student is a reluctant reader, you might want to check out books on the North American countries we didn't get to: Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, The Bahamas, and Jamaica. They also love biographies and were really interested in finding out about different famous people from the states we studied.
