We went over the Regions of the USA retrieval charts today in class. Then, very quickly, we looked at the answers to the Chapter 1 questions. Next, I gave you the USA Geography Test Study Guide. This study guide also appears here in this post.
I told you about two helpful websites for learning more about the geography of the USA. They are:

1. USA Map Puzzle/ Interactive Map of the USA: www.yourchildlearns.com/owlmouse.htm
