State-by-State: Nebraska

Cornhusker begins with the letter C.

It's the nickname of our state.

And for the crops and cattle, 

that make this land so great.

The girls completed their Nebraska activities this week, and we even took pictures and "cooked" in the same week!

Lauren is doing a great job this year finding interesting facts about each state and pulling together her own scrapbook pages.  I think she is doing a terrific job!

While "cooking" for Nebraska this week, we also cooked for 4 other states so we took the each alternative for Nebraska!

There's a delicious drink that begins with K

and Kool-Aid is its name.

With so many colors and flavors,

it's one of Nebraska's claims.

Edwin Perkins was a young inventor who loved creating concoctions in his mother's kitsch.  In 1927 (the roaring 20s which we are also studying in history), he developed a method for making Kool-Aid.  Kool-Aid is Nebraska's official soft drink!
