I just saw the BIGGEST LAKE!!!!

Hello Friends! Did you guess where I was last time? Need to read my clues again? Then check out this post: http://oscarslearninglab.blogspot.com/2011/11/get-your-mapsim-headed-southwest.html

If you guessed Arkansas then you really are one smart cookie and certainly know your way around. GOOD JOB! I give you two paws up. Are you wondering where I am now? Would you like some clues? OK. Sure thing but run along a get out your maps, your globe, your atlas, your encyclopedias, or your just search (with Mom, Dad, or Teacher helping of course!) on the Internet. Most important though is your....
THINKING CAPS!!!
 I was drifting north in my homemade hot air balloon trying to decided just where to visit next when I looked down and saw a BIG! and I mean BIG! lake. Definitely not like the ponds we have back home! I was so excited that I decided to stop and explore this exciting looking place. Two of our great countries major rivers meet here, the Mississippi River and the Ohio River. Most of this wonderful place used to be prairie...not so any more. Now it is home to a place people call the Windy City. Boy what a big city it is...I nearly got lost!! YIKES!!! Its not all flat land around here though if you head toward the southern end of the state you might run across a hilly place called the Shawnee National Forest. Did I mention that you can visit a home of one our former Presidents?


Figured it out already? WOW! You are one smart cookie. OK smarty pants...keep that thinking cap on and see if you can find five facts about this great place and post them to me right here on my blog. I love hearing from new friends!!!!

Learning is Pawsitively Fun!!!
