Dh got this from a friend. We've had fun with it and thought I'd pass it along.

Good luck! It's very touchy so be forewarned!

I don't remember the third grade being so stressful, but yes, I passed!

Is it just supposed to be dragging the states to the map?

 

[Captain Brain]

I did! *with a couple seconds to spare...*

 

[auntpolly]

LOL, I did it in a panic, like if I didn't finish it on time someone would die or something!!!

That sounds like me when I did it!

 

[Alice28]

Yep, passed!

 

[NewJersey]

passed!!!

 

[DVCLiz]

Failed by 2!!!! Oh, well, guess I'll have to give that Master's Degree back...

I think I would have passed if I'd had my glasses on. I tried a few in the general area in the Northeast but took too much time getting them in the right little tiny spot!!!

 

[figment52]

Passed, no problem

 

[DVCLiz]

Passed, no problem

Showoff...

Ok, I took it again and passed.

Well sure, now that you know all the answers!

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just in a silly mood and I have so much work I need to get done before tomorrow - anything to stall!!!

 

[ead79]

Yep, I passed! But I might not do so well if it had been third grade math!

 

[MouseSKIteer]

i failed, but my comm arts teacher also took it and failed

 

[DVCLiz]

Well sure, now that you know all the answers!

And, sadly, I failed a second time before I finally passed it on the third attempt - so now you know.

I've always lived on the East Coast, so states like Missouri are a mystery to me. I'm sure I learned this in the third grade - I remember doing a big report on Michigan, but I don't have a good memory for any of that stuff. I finally learned where Oklahoma was two years ago when a friend moved there. Heck, I wasn't even sure where Louisiana was (duh, it's the one shaped like the big L, stupid) until my brother moved there.

Clearly, as soon as I have friends in every state I'll be able to pass that thing....

DD12 is learning the countries of the world this year, and she has to take one of these tests on each continent or region every Friday. I know more about the countries of Africa right now than I do the USA....

This is how I learned the states in 3rd grade! Anyone remember this song?

Fifty Nifty United States from thirteen original colonies,
Fifty Nifty stars in the flag that billows so beautifully in the breeze.
Each individual state contributes a quality that is great!
Each individual state deserves a bow: Let's salute them now!

Fifty Nifty United States from thirteen original colonies,
Shout 'em, Scout 'em, Tell all about 'em,
One by one, 'til we've given a day to every state in the U.S.A

[I Love Pluto]

I am a failure. Oh no!

 

[SwedishMeatball]

That was fun. What a great teaching tool.

 

[Luv'sTink]

That was so easy!

OMG I still sing this song. Well just the states part. I still remember the assembly we had for this.

And yes I passed.
