Tour of the States

Attached is a link to the "Tour of the States" song by Renald Francoeur. I shared this song with the class earlier this year and they loved it! It's a great way to learn our country's states and capitals. I gave the class a challenge to memorize the lyrics by the end of the year.  Let's see who is up for the challenge!
