Would you like to have your children create a notebook about your state, but don't know where to start?

My Book of State History

is just what you're looking for!

This 27-page unit is a very relaxed study of the history, geography, and symbols of your state designed to help your elementary-aged children learn how to find information about their state on their own and relate it to others in an understandable way. When you're finished, each of your children will have their own notebook of information that they have completed themselves!

Dear Ann,
Thank you so much for creating My Book of State History. I am a new homeschooler and need guidance on creating fun, meaningful studies for my daughter. We live in Virginia where history abounds; however, I wasn't sure how to do a study on the basic "things" of our state. This book helps me tremendously and helps me have a focus on where I am trying to go with the study and what I want her to learn. Her State History notebook is going to be filled with everything little thing about Virginia, and we are both very excited. What you have created is extremely valuable to me because you have saved me a lot of time, and I no longer worry about how to incorporate everything.
THANK YOU! God Bless, Laura Dawson

Twenty-one pages are ready-to-use notebook pages for your child to complete. These can be printed off and 3-hole punched for a folder or slipped into page protectors and put in a binder. All pages are reproducible for your families personal use.

I created this study for my own 10-year-old daughter and the photos of the completed notebook on this page are hers. She did hers on our state, Texas, but your child will fill in the pages with information about your state. I like to call these "notebook starters" because they get the kids started thinking and they always add something to the pages I created.
All you absolutely need for this unit is this ebook (pdf format), a computer, Adobe Acrobat Reader (available FREE on their website), paper, pencils, a library card, and internet access!

"Our family has enjoyed "My Book of State History." It is fun, arranged well and covers much more information that I ever would have thought of. It is very user friendly, too! We certainly know a lot more about our state after this study. Now it's time do study the other 49!
