...on a field of blue -
Alaska's flag. May it mean to you
The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
The mountain lakes, and the flow'rs nearby;
The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,
The precious gold of the hills and streams;
The brilliant stars in the northern sky,
The "Bear" - the "Dipper" - and, shining high,
The great North Star with its steady light,
Over land and sea a beacon bright.
Alaska's flag - to Alaskans dear,
The simple flag of a last frontier.
(Alaska's State Song ~ Written by Marie Drake ~ Composed by Elinor Dusenbury)
This is the state seal from Noah's state report on Alaska.
The state flower, the Alpine Forget-Me-Not.
The recipe Noah will use to prepare wild-caught salmon for his class.
He will also play Sitka City on his Cello.
Just a few of the many beautiful pages.
We miss Alaska. The state song sums it up! :-)
Nathan is working on his 5th grade state report. He's been assigned Illinois. This is the grid map he created. Draft done. State seal to go. Popcorn to pop. One week left. Yay for timeliness in the procrastinator-family.
