THE GREAT STATE RACE....
The Great State Race is a project that our 5th grade class is doing as part of our Social Studies class! Our goal is to give information about our state to others, and we hope to receive information about other states at the same time! We want to teach others about our school, city and state. THroughout this process, we hope to learn a lot about other areas in our nation as well! Our goal by setting up this website is to get a response from all 50 states!
If you have any family members or friends that attend a school in a different state, please send me their email address so we can contact them! We would love to hear from as many schools as possible! You can email me at [email protected].
