Geography Bee is less than a month away!

Round 1 of the Bee is Thursday, December 8th. You'll have more fun on Bee day if you study at least a little bit for the challenge. TIP: visit Ms. Bragg's portaportal and open the "Geography-- Outside the Curriculum" folder where there are lots of fun games that will help enhance your geographic knowledge and grow your brain! Click on the screenshot below to go directly to Ms. Bragg's portaportal.

And don't forget about Ms. B.'s last blog post on the Bee... You can return to that if you want to watch some videos about what it's like to be in the national finals of the Geo Bee or find out how the contestant from Virginia gained all his geographic knowledge.

Election Day! But what are people voting for? (Hint: It's not the president!)

As we discussed this morning, many of us saw signs of TJ being a "polling station." What's that word "polling" mean again? And which "ward" does TJ go with?


We looked at what and who people are voting for in Falls Church. Click on the screen shot below to go to the list of "ballot items." Then you can explore the candidates' websites. Who would you vote for if you could? And what's a "ballot" again?


How is Virginia state government similar and different from the federal government? What's that word "federal" mean again?
