Road Trip USA
Road Trip USA has been a 6th grade elective in some school years.
In this 10-week class, students plan a virtual road trip across several states.
It is not being offered for the 2023-2024 school year.
They map their route, balance a budget, book hotels, select state attractions to visit, and create an album of their adventures.
It's a very fun way to "experience" parts of the country and learn about states and regions.
Parents shouldn't be surprised if students want to take the trip they plan for real!
A similar activity is one part of the Brain Kinesthetic elective.
Can You Identify These States By Their Shapes?
Extra credit question: Which became a U.S. state first?
