How to use:

Each "Lecture" in State Songs of the 50 U.S. States online course is a new state's lesson.

Choose to go through one a day with your kids or spend as much time as you need studying each state by delving deeper into the subject, watching the videos again, singing and/or playing the state song, and exploring related websites.

As you work on the course, it automatically keeps track of where you are. When you are finished with a lesson, click "Complete and Continue" to move on. You can always come back to past lessons, though.

Optional Textbook to Use with this Course:

A brand new curriculum came out in 2020 from Notgrass for grades 1-4 called Our 50 States. "It combines the flexibility and richness of a unit study with the simplicity of a textbook-based approach. In addition to narrative lessons about people and places from around the U.S., students learn through songs and hands-on activities." It's the perfect companion to the State Songs of the 50 U.S. States online course!

Caveat and warning on videos posted

Since every family is different in what you deem appropriate for your kids to watch or read, you may want to preview all videos and websites ahead of time, especially the ones listed at the end of each lecture (more of the "rock" style songs).
