I encourage you to use the various games on this site to review the states AND the capitals! We will have a quiz on the 50 states again on Thursday 11/20 & again on Monday 11/24. Remember-- I am not doing this to be "mean"! I am offering you many chances to be successful and pull up your grade! 

Quiz Details: 

11/20: Name the 50 states, and name 10 state's capitals (pick any nine--- you MUST know MD's capital!) 

11/24: Identify the 50 states, and name 20 state's capitals (pick any nineteen-- you MUST know MD's capital!) 

Celebrate Veterans Day!

Veterans Day is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans. Both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states, it is usually observed on November 11. However, if it occurs on a Sunday then the following Monday is designated for holiday leave, and if it occurs Saturday then either Saturday or Friday may be so designated.[1] It is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)
The holiday is commonly printed as Veteran's Day or Veterans' Day in calendars and advertisements. While these spellings are grammatically acceptable, the United States government has declared that the attributive (no apostrophe) rather than the possessive case is the official spelling.[2] -wikipedia.org
