State spelling-Middle School Style

Last Friday I had a few extra minutes of class remaining so I gave the last class of the day a blank map of the United States and asked them to fill in the states. Now I'm not even going to speak to the incorrect placement and lack of knowledge they had and instead choose to examine the "creative" spelling of the places we hold so dear.
