Learning the States

Today we began practicing the geography of the fifty states and the students are going to be tested on them in two weeks. This is a difficult thing, I know and requires a lot of memorization. I've used this website for the past couple of years and the kids seem to really get a kick out of it. It times them and then if you don't get them all in place, you get a big message that says "You Failed Third Grade!" Of course, they are fifth graders and it fires them up. I just hope they learn them!
