WHAT MAKES IT WORK
Each passage is short, with questions right below it, so first graders can read on their own and show what they learned.
The facts are checked and kid friendly: Nevada became the 36th state on October 31, 1864, people found silver there in 1859, the flag says Battle Born and Nevada touches 5 states; each fact carries into word work, writing and math.
The worksheets are black and white to save ink, and the flag poster, the map poster, the symbol cards and the headband also come in bright color for your bulletin board.
No prep: just print and go. The symbol cards need only a quick cut.
