My son is in 2nd grade at a private school.  I am amazing at the stuff he is learning and what he already knows.  They give us progress reports and he is reading at 120 words a minute… wow, I wonder how I compare to that.

Yesterday, we had to study for this states test.  This year they are learning the names of the states and where they are located.  Apparently they have done 22 of the states so far and as we were studying last night, I was testing him with the sheet they sent home. 

He was guessing on some of them, he knew most, but when it got over to the AZ, NM, CO, UT, WY and MT states, I was thouroughly confused!  I am a visual learner, so I associate things with sight.  So if you notice, all those states are pretty much little squares, so I get easily confused! 

Idaho, Texas, California, Florida - those are easy to remember because they are shaped funny!

Now I’m concerned about when we get to the east coast!!!  Guess I’m not smarter than a 2nd grader!
