Description
Give 1st graders a real Missouri state study: the capital, the 8 neighboring states, the 24 stars on the flag, the Gateway Arch and six official state symbols.
Students read, write, solve and draw their way through Missouri, then wear a Happy Missouri Day headband to celebrate.

WHAT MAKES IT WORK
Clear directions and one focused task per page let 1st graders work on their own while you guide a small group.
Each activity ties a real Missouri fact to a 1st grade skill: the 24th state becomes a tens and ones page, the state symbols become compound words and riddles, and the history of Missouri Day becomes a timeline.
The worksheets are black and white to save ink, and the flag, the poster, the symbol cards and the headband also come in bright color for your bulletin board.
No prep for the worksheets: just print and go. The answer key makes checking quick, and the symbol cards need only a quick cut.
