50 States Song
50 States Song by
This simple song is aimed to help children memorize the 50 states of America. In elementary schools across the USA it is expected that children will learn the names of the fifty states and be able to position them on a map. This song features lines that rhyme -- one line per state -- and progresses across the country in an orderly and logical way.
Each line highlights a famous person, place or fact regarding the state -- to give children a memory framework upon which to learn the states. We hope that children outside of America can also benefit from this song: obviously with America's position of prominence in the world some knowledge of its geography is an advantage and we hope this song will also drive in them greater curiosity about their own country's places and features.
Note that as the states get smaller and more clustered towards the east of the USA we have sometimes added dots and lines to clarify exactly which state we're referring to. These dots are not intended to refer to any specific place within the state -- the dot in Illinois, for example, is certainly not trying to represent where Chicago is!
We hope parents and children alike find this little tune and rhyme fun and useful!
Lyrics:
We'll start in California -- there are lots of people here
Oregon's our next stop -- where it rains throughout the year
Next we'll move to Washington -- it's in the far north-west
And then across to Idaho -- potatoes are the best!
Downwards to Nevada to see Elvis take a bow
And here's the great Grand Canyon -- we're in Arizona now
New Mexico, here we go -- we'll stay in Santa Fe
Then we're Colorado-bound -- we'll for ski for half the day
Utah held Olympic Games -- the ones with ice and snow
Wyoming's home to Yellowstone -- where all the tourists go
Montana is near Canada -- its prairies are so charming
We'll head on over to North Dakota -- just the spot for farming
South Dakota's famous for the sculptures at Rushmore
The cornhuskers of Nebraska will be welcoming for sure
We're not in Kansas anymore said Dorothy to Toto
Oklahoma is OK -- let's stop and take a photo
It's time to go to Texas now -- the mighty lone star state
Louisiana's food's so nice I'm sure you'll clear your plate
Mississippi was the home of Huckleberry Finn
It's not too far from Arkansas where Clinton grew up in
Missouri held Olympic Games in nineteen hundred four
In Iowa look near and far -- there's lots and lots of corn
In Minnesota lakes you can gaze at your reflection
Eating cheese in Wisconsin is sampling perfection
Michigan is where they make cars in such great numbers
Ohio is the Buckeye state -- its capital is Columbus
Indiana's the place to go if it's racing you enjoy
And now we're not too far away from Chicago, Illinois
If we're lucky in Kentucky our horse might just be winning
Tennessee's the place to be if you like great singing
Down in Alabama, we'll stay in Birmingham
I'll see you next in Georgia with a golf club in my hand
When we visit Florida, let's see the Everglades
And in South Carolina we'll go surfing on the waves
North Carolina's next -- Michael Jordan is a resident
Followed by Virginia, the home of the first president
In West Virginian mountains we'll get some elevation
Then we'll jump to Delaware -- the first state of the nation
Maryland's where Babe Ruth's from -- he hit the ball so well!
Then in Pennsylvania we'll see the Liberty Bell
It's now time for New Jersey -- I will meet you on the boardwalk
I know you cannot wait to see the famous state of New York
Next stop is Connecticut -- and Hartford's where we'll stay
Then beautiful Rhode Island -- with a nice view of the bay
Boston Masachussets is a truly mighty city
And the Vermont scenery is wonderfully pretty
Maple syrup is so nice when it's from New Hampshire
Maine is the seafood state -- we'll sure enjoy the clams here
Then it's up to Alaska -- the land of ice and snow
Before ending in Hawaii -- Hawaii Five-O!
How Dollar Stores Really Make Their Money
Every year, dollar stores see higher and higher earnings, but how can a store that seems like it's giving things away turn itself into a multi-billion-dollar enterprise? The answer is simple: that dollar isn't always the great deal it appears to be. Here are their secrets.
Whether times are good or bad, you can still count on people to flock to dollar stores because they have the one thing everyone loves: convenience. Sales for Dollar General are always on the upswing, with the chain seeing an increase of 3.7 percent between 2017 and 2018, regardless of the state of the economy. Take it from Dollar General CEO Todd Vasos, who had this to say about their regular customers:
We have seen no sign of trade out or trade up from our core customers. Even in a good economy, [they are] still looking for value and convenience.
So, basically, no matter how much money people have, they still want something that bigger grocery stores can't give them. Dollar stores are not just convenient because their items are cheaper, but also because there seems to be one on every corner — and that makes them perfect for a quick fill-in trip between your weekly grocery runs. These stores are also typically smaller than the ones in a big chain like Walmart, which means that you can usually get in and out with your emergency bag of dog food, a handful of snacks, or supplies for your kid's art project in just a couple of minutes. The fact that most people are on to this, means dollar stores are always making money — even if customers buy just a few things.

Surviving an Active Shooter
It’s scary to think about, but an active shooter can strike any place, at any time. For this reason, The Ohio State University Department of Public Safety, in partnership with the Office of Student Life, has released this video to educate its campus community. Your safety is our number one priority, so please take a moment to watch.

Inside Juvenile Detention
As recently as 2005, the state of Virginia had eight centers like Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Facility, housing more than 1,300 delinquent youth. But by 2017, after a series of reforms, that number had shrunk to one.
“It's not that you can't do good work here,” said Andy Block, who, since 2014, has served as the juvenile-justice department’s director. “But the place itself and the design and the size and the location are barriers to doing good work.” Block and others are working to close Bon Air and replace it with something that reflects the juvenile justice reforms that have taken hold in Virginia and across the country—a system that once focused on confinement is now dedicated to rehabilitation. In recent years, more than 70 percent of Virginia's juvenile inmates were rearrested within three years of their release.*
Read more on The Atlantic:
*This documentary originally stated that Virginia has one of the highest recidivism rates in the country. This characterization was based on incomplete data. The documentary also stated that the three-year rearrest rate for current Bon Air inmates would be 74 percent. This was the rate for former juvenile inmates in Virginia in 2014. We regret the errors.

Walden Audiobook by Henry David Thoreau | Audiobooks Youtube Free | Part 2
Walden by Henry David Thoreau is one of the best-known non-fiction books written by an American. Published in 1854, it details Thoreau’s life for two years, two months, and two days around the shores of Walden Pond. Walden is neither a novel nor a true autobiography, but a social critique of the Western World, with each chapter heralding some aspect of humanity that needed to be either renounced or praised. Along with his critique of the civilized world, Thoreau examines other issues afflicting man in society, ranging from economy and reading to solitude and higher laws. He also takes time to talk about the experience at Walden Pond itself, commenting on the animals and the way people treated him for living there, using those experiences to bring out his philosophical positions. This extended commentary on nature has often been interpreted as a strong statement to the natural religion that transcendentalists like Thoreau and Emerson were preaching.
