There are two documents to create this week for your notebooks.
These are due on Thursday, May 1, 2014 for all three grade levels.
Table of contents
1. Make a list of the components you have completed in your notebook. Don't forget to add the Economic Report and Map as two components we will add before the city parade and presentations. You can access the component list here: State Components
2. Table of contents must be typed. Use Times New Roman or Arial. Set your type size to 18. Do not use italics, bold, or highlighted text.
3. Type the title of "Table of Contents. " Highlight and center it by choosing the center option in the tool bar.
4. Hit enter 2 times.
5. Type the name of your first component, the state flag. Capitalize both words.
6. Hold the period button down and create a line of periods until it lines up with the margin 5 at the top of the word processing app. Type the letter "p", a period and the number 1 after the last period.
Your paper should now look like this.
Table of Contents
State Flag................................................................... p. 1
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each component. Capitalize most words except "a", "an", "the" and "of" UNLESS they are the first word in your component name.
8. You're done! Good job!

Timeline link, Washington State Song Documents, Economy Map
Economy Map is an IN-CLASS project. Hooray!
Washington State Timeline 4th and 5th Grade Only Due 3/3/14
1. Make a list of ten dates that are important in Washington State. Make sure you include the following: Washington becomes a U.S Territory, Washington Statehood, and the date your city was established. The remaining seven dates are up to you, but choose things you think are very important to Washington state history.
2. Create a visual organizer that gives each event a place in a bigger picture. An example would be peaches on a peach tree for the State of Georgia.
3. Each item on your organizer should have a 2-3 word description and a date including the day, month and year. If the day isn’t available, please make sure you have the month and year. Example: A peach might have the following information on it: Georgia Statehood 1/2/1788.
4. Make sure you are using colored pencil. Crayons or marker will smudge. Watercolors can be used but this assignment is hard for that media choice.
5. Arrange your items into the larger picture. Your organizer should resemble a scene or item with each item part of the larger whole (peaches on a peach tree, with a sky and field.) You can either draw your items into the timeline or cut and neatly glue them into the picture.
6. Make sure your items are arranged in some sort of order. Top to bottom or left to right works well for most ideas.
7. Title it “Washington State Timeline”. The title goes on the top in the center. Use a ruler to help you keep it straight as you write.
8. Use ultra fine point Sharpie to go over written details and your title neatly.
9. Put your name lightly in pencil on the back.
10. You’re done!
WASHINGTON STATE SONG Due April 24, 2014
1. Print out the lyrics to the state song of Washington, “Washington, My Home” or neatly hand write the lyrics on white paper.
2. Read through the lyrics and be on the lookout for describing phrases and word pictures.
3. Create a small (1” wide or less) border around the edges of your paper using a repeating picture of mentioned in the song. (Example: For Texas, you’d make a border of yellow roses.) This border can be neatly hand drawn or cut/paste pictures from internet. Color it with colored pencils or use your computer.
4. Listen to the song on this YouTube video. It was sung by a girls’ choir from Tumwater!
5. Illustrate your song with an image similar to the YouTube clips. Choose an image you like. You may either print and mount it onto your song or draw it neatly at the bottom of the page, coloring it with colored pencil.
6. Add a few musical decorations around your title such as a treble clef, quarter notes, or eighth notes.
7. You’re done! If you can hum or sing a little of the song, that will be an extra 2 points!
Washington, My Home
Written by Helen Davis
Arranged by Stuart Churchill
This is my country; God gave it to me;
I will protect it, ever keep it free.
Small towns and cities rest here in the sun,
Filled with our laughter, "Thy will be done."
Washington my home;
Where ever I may roam;
This is my land, my native land,
Washington, my home.
Our verdant forest green,
Caressed by silvery stream;
From mountain peak to fields of wheat.
Washington, my home.
There's peace you feel and understand
In this, our own beloved land.
We greet the day with head held high,
And forward ever is our cry.
We'll happy ever be
As people always free.
For you and me a destiny;
Washington my home.
