    Words within words:Start with "Startling" & end up with "I"?

    Many times when you look at a word you can see other words inside it.
    Sometimes this helps you to learn vocabulary or to spell words correctly.

    Take 1 letter out of each word to form another word. For example:

    ready
    read
    red

    Geography test. Countries in the news.

    TAKE THIS GEOGRAPHY QUIZ........goodluck

    Drag the country's name onto the map. There is no humbling score nor

    time limit, but rather this exercise is a learning tool. Don't be afraid to

    make an error, and once you finish the puzzle, you will be far more

    educated about this very intense part of our world.

    Drag-- arrastrar
    tool---- herramienta

    Economics, Politics, and the Work Ethic

    Distant past, present, and future....

    "The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
    -Marcus Tullius CICERO, 55 BC
    Roman author, orator, & politician (106 BC - 43 BC)

    Do you agree?
