    1. I visited Florida 2 years ago when I was in first grade. We went to Disney World. We flew there in a plane. It took us almost 3 hours to get there. It would have taken almost a whole day if we would have drove our car.

  7. I chose Florida a southern state. Here are some facts about Florida. It is known as the sunshine state. Spanish explorers discovered Florida. The name Florida is a Spanish adjective which means flowery. The U.S Postal abbreviation is FL. Archaelogy finds indicate that it had been inhabited for many thousands of years before the Spaniards arrived in 1513. I enjoyed learning some of the facts about Florida.

  24. I did Florida for my state! I learned on the game that Florida is also known as 'The Sunshine State'. I also learned that in spanish Florida means 'Flowery'. Florida has been inhabited for thousands of years by European settlements. Before we called it Florida, Spaniards La Terra Florida, 'The Flowery Land'. Some Spanish, British and American people took control of parts of Florida. Spain gave Florida to the United states with a treaty in return for renouncing US claims on Texas. On March 3rd, Florida become the 27th state of the United States of America. Florida is the 4th most populous state in the Union. That is pretty much everything I understood. Maybe I'll go on again sometime! I think that the next state I would like to post about is Minnesota. I wonder if I'll post again at home! I could even post stuff I know without that website... 

  25. I randomly selected a state and I ended up with Michigan. I learned that Michigan's nickname is the Great Lake's State and the Wolverine State.They call Michigan The Great Lake's State because in Michigan they have many lake's. They have over 11,000 lake's in just Michigan. Michigan is called the Wolverine State because it was a nickname the earned in the toledo war. Did you know that in Michigan the Peninsula is shaped in the shape of a mitten. Residents often use there left hand or right palm as a shortland map. Penisula is often jokingly refered to trolls.

  26. I would not want to go to that school because they have to wear dresses and I do not like to wear dresses plus I do not think that they had iPads or iPods so really that would not be as fun because you would not have iPods or iPads to play games on and that is why I would not want to go to that school. I love what school I go to now.
