Tricky Thursday

SUPER COOL GEOGRAPHY WEB GAME!!!!! (Get permission to click the link…) This game has me addicted. The world is such an interesting place! There are places I have guessed were in the United States, but in fact were in Africa, Russia, and Australia.

Fun fact: “I am.” is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

Problem of the day: What state is shown in this outline map? (hint- it’s in the United States…)

Monday, May 27, is Memorial Day. It is the day when America honors the people who have given their lives in service (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard) to keep our country safe.  We will go on Saturday to plant flags on the graves of American veterans. Here is a photo of Cameron a few years ago helping with the flag planting. We have gone for the past five years. There are 80,000 graves that have a flag individually planted. It takes about an hour to put the flags out. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Venturing Scouts all help with the flag planting. We go to the  Los Angeles National Cemetery which is near the 405 freeway, north of the 10.

Remember: NO SCHOOL tomorrow or Monday. See you on Tuesday!

          1. I wonder what Louis A. Philippi’s story is… We know he was from Pennsylvania, but ended up being buried in Los Angeles.

  1. I wish i was Cameron but as a girl not a boy because he got to meet the guy from Hannah Montana and the other pic is nice. 🙂

    1. It was a great experience. Sad that the soldiers (and sailors) died, but a good experience anyway.

    1. Think about your hints- it is a state, and it is the outline of a state in the United States. How can you figure this out?
