Mrs. Wilson's class asks: What states and/or countries border Montana? What is the difference between a state and a country?
After a review lesson on understanding what GEOGRAPHY is as well as brainstorming the different prominent Geographical Landforms surrounding our community, Mrs. Betts' class would like to know more about the following landforms. We would appreciate it if you could provide for us at least three facts for each. Thank you.
1. What can you tell us about Pompey's Pillar?
2. What can you tell us about the rimrocks?
3. What can you tell us about the Yellowstone River?
4. What can you tell us about the Beartooth Mountains?
5. What can you tell us about the Yellowstone Valley?
6. What can you tell us about Pictograph caves?

A country is like a pizza, the whole pizza is a country and then when you slice up the pizza each slice is like a state. States make up the country like the slices in our pizza make up the whole pizza. American History Period 4.

A country is like a classroom. Each student is like a state, and follows the rules of the classroom (country). The teacher is like the president that makes and enforces the rules. Each student is different in its own way, just like our 50 states.
Period 3, American History.

A country is like a classroom. Each student is like a state, and follows the rules of the classroom (country). The teacher is like the federal government (President, Congress, and Supreme Court) guiding, making, and enforcing rules. Each student is different in its own way, just like our 50 states.

A country is like a box of crayons. Each crayon is like a state, and each one is a different color. When you combine them in the crayon box, it becomes a country.

A country is like a school. It is made up of many states, or classrooms. Each school has rules that everyone has to follow, and each classroom has rules that only students in that class follow. The principal is like the President, and the office is like the capitol. The teachers act like governors when they help make laws for their classes

A country is like a lego structure. The states are the individual legos. They all have different sizes, shapes and colors, but when put together they make one united lego structure/country. WH Period 5

Third graders, I thought you might enjoy an electronic field trip to the Pictograph Caves--since they are closed for the season.

For Ms. Wilson and Ms. Betts, you might contact Darla Bruner (cell phone 670-4440; FWP 247-2955). She has visited my juniors and is an excellent resource on the Caves. She brings in slides, artifacts, and tells a great story! She's wonderful!
