In school today, Julia and her classmates were given U.S. posters on which they could label the 50 states and answer questions about the United States. Even though they didn't get to finish their work at school, Julia made sure to complete her poster at home. Not because it's due back at school or anything, because it isn't. Just because it's the 50 states and the 50 states are Julia's THANG.
Now, doesn't this look grand?:
(Note: there were no colors on the map when Julia brought this home from school. She took the initiative to color in each state to match the colors of the states on her beloved U.S. placemat, from which she memorized all 50 states and their capitals. Just for fun.)
I think Julia put a stellar effort into this poster, although I'm a bit concerned about the state of the bald eagle. He's looking a little encephalitic and limp:
And, finally, Julia got yet another chance to choose Arkansas as her top priority state, because doing a report about it for the State Fair just wasn't enough:
Choose a state you would like to visit, draw and color its shape, research what you could see or do there, and write about it.
"I would like to go to Arkansas. Arkansas has lots of landforms. Bill Clinton was born in Arkansas. I would like to see his house."
Yes, that's right. More than the Ozark Mountains or the Blanchard Springs Caverns or any number of other points of natural beauty in Arkansas, what Julia most wants to see there is Bill Clinton's childhood house. Forget the White House! Julia would rather travel to see THIS white house:
