Arkansas History

Every year our Elementary Building does a school-wide unit on Arkansas History. This is one of my favorite units to teach. The kiddos really love learning all the facts about their state! Today we learned how to find Arkansas on a map, our state capitol is Little Rock, and that Arkansas got it's name from the Quapaw Indians. During this unit we do a lot of color pages about what we are learning so to make it different and fun we are having a coloring contest for each page. The winner has his/her paper put on display in our hallway! We had 2 winners today! Here are some pictures of the kiddos working hard on their paper!
