facts and comments by all the students of 3E
Arizona’s state capital is the largest capital in the U.S.A. When you look at my float I hope you notice how hard I worked. Presenting my float was awesome.
Disney is an interesting place. It is the most visited theme park in the world. Ponce deLeon discovered Florida. I hope you like my float.
The Arches in Arches National Park are over 1,000 years old. On my float are the La Sal Mountains, arches, and a lizard and big horn sheep. I felt very happy when I finished because I know I had accomplished something great.
Arkansas has the only diamond mind in North America and the two largest diamonds from North America came from Arkansas. On my float I had all seven wonders and I added all of the state symbols like the state bird, flower, insect, flower, tree and animal. I got to learn about all of the states and I love to learn new things. I learned a fact or two about each one.
When you hear the word Nebraska you might things farms, but only 7% of Nebraskans have farms now. More that one fifth of the state is meadow and grassland. When you see my float, you’ll notice I worked hard and didn’t rush.
South Dakota is a cool state. I showed all the wonders on my float. Everything went really well – the parade was great.
Vermont got it’s nickname from the Green Mountains there. I hope you notice the letters that spell Vermont on my float and how I made them.
One of the facts I thought was most interesting what how popular donkeys are in the Grand Canyon. I was amazed that there were so many different types of rocks there and even mountains in the canyon. My biggest accomplishment was making it through the whole parade without dropping the back board.
The parade was fun because we got to drive our floats. I had the picture of Tennessee on mine. I got cake from Maryland.
After the parade I felt proud of myself. I had accomplished something. Texas is the second biggest state. Only Alaska is bigger. I wanted people to notice the prairie dogs the most on my float.
I like the concert. I think we did a very good job. I was nervous. I imagined the audience in their underpants. I wanted people to notice the Jello I used for the Delaware River.
In Georgia they have a place where people live ilk the pioneers did. You can give it a try. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in Georgia so I put his picture on a balloon. I like that I was able to answer all the questions about the float, state and the wonders I chose.
Wisconsin is a cheese producing state. Some Wisconsin cheese is aged for five years. It is a place without a lot of homesteaders. There is a mineral museum because there are a lot of minerals. I had the Arrow of Light, Faith and Hope on my float. I figured out that I wouldn’t wear a hat under my float.
An interesting fact about Yellowstone National Park is that Delaware and Rhode Island can fit inside the park itself. The thing that drew attention to my float was Smokey the Bear. Many people liked my float at the parade. I felt good about that.
North Dakota’s capital is Bismark I liked when everyone was singing and laughing. I spent time on my float.
I loved the parade. It was fun and I had a big float. I had a tall mountain that I made out of paper mache. I dressed up like a cowboy. I loved my outfit. It was fun and awesome.
I learned the Maryland crab cakes are the best. I had the Smith Island Cake on my float and everyone got to eat the cake.
I never knew there were more than 6,0oo,0oo people in Indiana. I worked hard on my float. I was not as nervous as I thought I would be.
The Everglades used to be hunted. Not any more. People noticed that I put effort into my float because the crowd ROARED like crazy when I entered with my float. My greatest accomplishments were not making any squeaky noises at the recorder concert and making the crowd ROAR like I said before.
The seagull is the state bird of Utah because they saved the crops from the locusts. I worked very hard on my float. The parade was very fun and everyone did a great job.
The fireflies have been blinking outside the window above the long grass. The chipmunks have been racing around the yard competing with the squirrels and birds to see just how many sunflower seeds they can get first and the barred owls have been calling from dusk to dawn.
The partridge berries are blooming and I realized there was a math problem there. They always come in pairs and there are always four petals on each flower. While I was sitting in my green chair watching to birds and reading The Hero’s Guide to Storming the Castle, I counted 16 pairs. How many flowers would that be altogether? How many flower petals would that be altogether?
