Happy 97th Birthday, Arizona!
As you know, much of our Social Studies Curriculum focuses on Arizona! We have already learned so much about this “Land of Contrast”! Topics of study have concentrated on the state’s history, culture, native people, geography, cities, towns, and counties, government, and flora and fauna. We will continue to learn much more about the “Grand Canyon State”! We are looking forward to our upcoming field trips to the Desert Botanical Garden and State Capitol! They are always very educational and enjoyable!
During our Valentine’s Day Party it seemed very fitting to celebrate the 97th birthday of our state which was admitted to the Union on February 14, 1912!
Did YOU know that we were the 48th and last of the contiguous states admitted to the Union? Do you know what Arizona’s 5 C’s are? Ask our child about ALL the amazing things he or she now knows about the great state of Arizona!
