US STATES & CAPITALS Test is coming in May '09:

All of Mrs. Stutzman's students will be given a "US States and Capitals" 100 point test in May. To prepare for this test I will be giving several practice tests throughout the year. I have already given one "US States" and a "US Capitals" practice test. Please practice so you are ready for this test when it comes!

I have encouraged the students to create their own flash cards and to review with family members and friends. Another option could be to use the Internet, check out these websites - they might be a fun way to help you learn!
