Ms. McPherson, a teacher at our school and an NAL judge, recommended this website. It's a vocabulary tool, and, for each answer you get right, this organization donates rice to hungry people around the world. You can help by being smart!

Focus for our First Practice
Hi, guys! Thank you for being a part of NAL at Marshall. To begin, we'll watch the first video at this link:
After that, we will spend some time on today's focus, which is learning all of the states and their capitals. Use this quiz at funbrain to help you! Only do the U.S. and if you get good at the easy level, then go up to the next level. You've got to know the states and capitols for NAL.
You can access this and practice from home, too, and I hope you will! I'm happy you're here with us in NAL.
With lots of love,
Mrs. Ott
