We have been learning about the 50 States and alliteration. To get the hang of using alliteration, write five sentences using alliteration.

KidBlog is quick tonight because you probably need time to study your Western States. Test tomorrow- don't forget to know the locations on the map too!

Examples:

A big black bug blew blue bubbles.

Many mini mice make nice merry music.

Pigs and penguins play ping-pong polo.

Big brown bears bake berry bread.
