Do you know your U.S. Geography?

One of the components of the physical fitness test I administered to my middle school students consisted of measuring flexibility. As a focal point for the students, I used a shiny new state quarter which I laid on the mat in front of them.

After the test, one of my students looked at the quarter closely and said, "I've NEVER heard of THAT island!".

It happened to have been a Rhode Island quarter.
