Studying Regions of the United States project

[Barb Ehlers <behlers@NETINS.NET>]

Dear LM_NET friends,

I was pleased to find out recently that our elementary school is the
recipient of a Star Schools grant that will provide us with the
equipment for our 4th graders to study the regions of the United States
by communicating with other classrooms throughout the country. I am
looking to the members of LM_NET to locate classrooms that would be
interested in participating. Yes, that is how I stated it in the
grant---that I would find the classrooms through my connections on
LM_NET!!! If you are interested I would like you to email me as soon as
possible. Those who participate will be asked to make a video about
their region to share, email questions and answers to our students and
participate in a video conferencing event. (I have a web cam I can send
to you for the video conferencing) We  are making a video about Iowa to
share with the participating schools. Obviously, you will need Internet
access, email and video capabilities to do this. Details will follow if
you are truly interested and able to participate. The following are the
regions and states we would like to hear from. I will need three from
each region as we have three sections of 4th grade. I would prefer 4th
grade classrooms, but that is not absolute, maybe in your school you
study the regions of the US in a different grade.

West (region)
States: Washington, California, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Hawaii,
Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Utah, Alaska

Southwest (region)
States: Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma

Northeast (region)
States: Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Maine, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland

Midwest (region)
States: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota,
Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan

Southeast (region)
States: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida,
South Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, West Virgina,
Virginia
