United States Quarters by Grades 3 & 4

Third and fourth graders are studying the United States of America.  Each student is a member of a group that is focusing on one region of the country.  Students chose states from their regions and recreated the state quarters.  We used the U.S. Mint Education web page to see what the quarters look like.  Students did not trace and used their artistic licenses to choose colors for their quarters. 

US City Skylines

Third and fourth graders are studying the United States in their classrooms.  They are divided into regional groups, so that they can each become an expert on one part of the country.  Each student chose a major US city from his or her region.  We looked at pictures of the city skylines, then they recreated the silhouette of the skyline using black paper.  Do you recognize any buildings in these cities?
