VIRGINIA
"Virginia is our home. Its proud history tells the story of who we are. Its mountains, rivers and valleys help shape us. Its communities and its people support us. Virginia is where we live.
Virginia is a rich and varied land. It has ocean beaches, costal plains, rolling hills, steep mountains, deep valleys, and much more. Virginia has five major land regions:
* The Tidewater (Coastal Plain)
* The Piedmont
* The Blue Ridge Mountains
* The Valley and Ridge
* The Applachian Plateau
Each of these regions has its own special qualities including many natural resources for its people to use."

This is a blog by a group of rising 4th and 5th grade students from the Bristol Virginia City Schools attending the 2007 -2008 Tech Academy. They will share with you some things they have learned about the five major regions of Virginia and perform via Podcast a rap they have written called "Virginia - It's a Rap."
