Mrs. Smothers’ 6th grade Social Studies Classes worked at stations, and in groups, while reviewing for their upcoming final. In the stations the students had to put the United States back together, after they were dismantled by “The Wet Bandits,” the Scrooge mixed up all of the states and capitals, and the kids had to rhyme like Dr. Suess’ making a story using the names of states and capitals.
