Texas

Ms. R's class is learning about Texas and they were asked to "brain storm" two lists: What I know and What I Want to Know.

These are the things she knows (about Texas):
cactus
dry land
Bluebonnets are the state flower
catfish
snakes
lots of big cities
good schools
warm weather most of the time
horses
long horns
lakes
armadillos
tornadoes

What she WANT to know:
Why do we call it "Texas"?
"Why do people ride bulls?"
Who is in charge of Texas?
Why is the flower called a bluebonnet?
Why is the land so dry?
Why are there so many land animals?
What is the state animal?

Some days Smarty McSmartypants makes me smile with the things she wonders about. Makes me wonder at the things she knows.
