At work there are times when it is REALLY slow. I can only read so many news articles and look at so many recipes before I start to go a little crazy. I decided last week that I wanted to re-learn all the capitals. I figured that would be something productive to do when I had down time and even beneficial. I found this website that has these two games on it. The first is matching the states and the second is matching the capitols to the states. I am glad I came across the one where you just match the states first because when I got to the capitols one I realized I needed to know where all the states were. I can now say that I know where ALL the states are! Woohoo! I feel so smart :) And I know all but 8 of the capitols, I'm getting closer :)
Maybe once I have the capitols mastered I will try to re-learn math...but I will have to be REALLY bored to attempt that one...
Here are the websites for the states and capitol's games if you are brave enough to try. At first it makes you feel pretty dumb, especially if you don't get them all right in the alloted time and it says "YOU HAVE FAILED THE THIRD GRADE", but when you do master it you feel pretty dang smart, or atleast I did :)

Jamie,
Maybe you should sign up for "are you smarter than a 5th grader?" Better yet, maybe I'll have Madisyn start learning these and we can have a throw down when you get here this summer! =)

Kelly,
On the Smarter than a 5th Grader website you can play the game, after the third try I made it to a million. But you can choose pretty much all 1st grade questions so it was easy. I think Madisyn would beat me at the states, she's too smart for me :)
