How Fun! The book We are the United States is amazing! I was expecting to see specific people like Rosa Parks and Thomas Jefferson, and while people like that are in there, the book focuses on the different people culturally. It includes the Ox farmers of Alaska or the hikers of Alabama. It is rare to find books including characters such as these. Social Studies is THE study of geography, culture, the PEOPLE! It is refreshing to find these “mundane, everyday characters.” These people are also important. These people are you and me! Use this notebook companion to fully understand each state’s culture and people. This along with studying the geography, will help give a more thorough understanding of each state therefore a more complete picture of the United States as a whole. Great resource!

We have the 50 States Notebook Series. This Notebook Companion has 3 pages per state – labeling maps, drawing and/or writing about the people of the state, and answering facts about the state alongside drawing the state flag. If you have all four in the series, labeling the maps is repetitive. This felt like a great way to check knowledge and my daughter really enjoyed the map pages. This book ended up being my daughter’s favorite. So thankful to have found this series!

This is part of the 50 States Notebook Series. If you purchase everything in the series, you and your child will be repeating mapwork for the 50 states. I think this is a great idea to really make sure your child memorizes and knows by heart the geography of the United States. The bonus lesson plan can help you pace everything in one school year.
The mapwork here is a little different in that the state is blown up as one instead of about the whole United States map. The population is emphasized in this notebook. The last map, in the end, is a population map.
This notebook focuses on basic facts such as the capital city, population, state flag, groups of people, and landmarks–very encyclopedic.
