Conner is in 5th grade and that is the year for state reports. Conner did a great job writing and researching about the great state of Utah! While chatting with a friend about what they needed to do (written report, poster and oral report) she told me that her son also had to do a state float. I said, "Oh ... so glad WE don't have to do one of those!" Fast forward several weeks and we get a paper home telling us about the "State Float." We had a couple of short weeks to work on it, and here is the finished project.
Utah - The Beehive State. Salt Lake City is the capital. BYU is in Provo and the Sego Lily is the state flower. Notice how the back is in the shape of Utah?
Coal is the state rock (we painted rocks black ... I still don't think the paint dried all the way). Cherry is the state fruit and Jimmer Fredette is a college basketball sensation!
Utah eats the most Jello of any other state and the state bird is the Seagull. (Notice the seagulls flying around the bottom edge of his float?)
Friday at school they had a float parade and the classes lined up outside of their rooms while the 5th graders walked their floats around. Some of them bit the dust on the bumpy ground, but Conner's held up pretty good! Great job Conner!
Watch where you're going Conner!
Last Elementary School project complete for Conner!
