Kansas Day!

Today Kansas turns 157 years-old! Holy Moly! We introduced Kansas symbols to the children and they enjoyed learning about them...they may even quiz others about what they know about Kansas...
Here you go:

State Flower: Sunflower
State Tree: Cottonwood
State Insect: Honeybee
State Animal: Buffalo or Bison
State Amphibian: Tiger Salamander
State Reptile: Ornate Box Turtle
State Motto: Ad astra per aspera (To the stars through difficulty; I tweaked it to... to the stars and beyond (that sounds more exciting to a preschooler)....)
State Song: Home on the Range

Here is our preschool Kansas Song:
Sunny Kansas
(Tune: The More We Get Together)

Oh, we’re from sunny Kansas, sunny Kansas, sunny Kansas.

Oh, we’re from sunny Kansas, the best state of all.

Where it rains some and snows some, cyclones come, and it blows some.

Oh, we’re from sunny Kansas, the best state of all.
