Junior Achievement - BizTown A major part of the 5th grade curriculum is learning how the economy works in the United States. Part of mastering this concept is the participation in the Junior Achievement Program. In October the class will learn how to write checks, apply for jobs, and operate a business. On November 1st, students will take these skills and run a town for the day! More information on the field trip and the curriculum will follow soon.
Students are required to learn the location of all fifty states. In addition they will learn the capitals of all fifty states. To help accomplish this task, we will have a states test each week. Students are responsible for the correct placement of each state and capital. We will add five states a week until we have mastered all 50. The states test is given EVERY FRIDAY. There are links below to websites that will help you learn the 50 states . . .try them!
