Thing #11 - Learn from Video

The video is called 50 states and capitals.  It is a cartoon that sings the names and locates the states and capitals.  This would be good to use in the 3^rd grade when they have to learn to locate and name the states and capitals.  This could also be introduced in the 2^nd grade and to reinforce the location and names of states and capitals in the 4^th grade.
