Calling all States

I sent out an email a couple months ago that Jessica's class was divided in groups and in competition with each other to see which group would be the first to get postcards from all 50 states!!! Thanks to everyone who sent those cards to Jessica. I spoke to Jess' teacher today and she informed me that Jess' group was the first to get all 50!! However, Jess says her group has not gotten Rhode Island. I am going to have her check on that tomorrow. I took pictures of all the cards today while I was at her school.

After showing Jess the pictures, she realized that there is a red thumb tack in RI, which indicates that her team, did indeed, get RI!! That means they get to have a pizza party!!

Thanks again!

Jessica's "State Fair"

As you may know, Jessica has been working on her state project for school for sometime now (9 weeks to be exact). Well, the final project was due to day!! Parents and other classes at the school were invited to see the "State Fair" Jessica's state was New Mexico, and I must admit when she came home and said that her state was New Mexico, my first thougth was "what the heck is in NM. This is going to be a tough, but boring state (sorry Tab). After all the reading and researching we did on the state, I have to admit, I might like to visit there some day.
