Texas Our Texas

If you have followed my blog for a while you know that I am a proud Texan so obviously my favorite thing to teach about would be TEXAS! I love sharing the history of our great state with these little  ones and they really love it too! 
We mainly discuss the Texas symbols and their importance in our unit. To start off, I showed them a few youtube videos. 
We made our Texas Symbol Booklets! Each page of the book has a differently symbol and we wrote a fact or two about each one.

We wrapped up our unit with a little butterfly craft. We were also studying the life cycle of a butterfly at this time so it worked out perfectly. They each made a symmetrical Monarch butterfly, which is our state insect. Then wrote a few facts they had learned.
