This teacher's guide on the 50 state quarters produced by the United States Mint includes six lesson plans that fit easily into the social studies curriculum for grades 2-3. The lesson plans include reproducible student work pages that coincide with each lesson; state facts and information about the 2001 states quarter designs (New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Kentucky); U.S. map template with state outlines, names, and capitals; and 50 State Quarters Program 1999-2001 reproducible coin art. Each of the six lessons provides the teacher with educational objectives, curriculum connections, groupings, and class time needed for implementation. (BT)
