Maryland Report




At school we were studing the United States. Mrs.Kinsella had a basket full of numbers, everyone picked a number. We got to pick our states in order, I picked the state Maryland. We did all sorts of hard and fun stuff, some stuff like a big report, doing a speech, dressing up, and making cookies the shape of the states. Here's a fun fact about Maryland, Maryland has two nicknames the first is the Old Line State. The second is the Free State, They call it the Free State because before Maryland was a Slave State the Maryland soldiers had war of slavery they won and Maryland had peace and quiet. The outfit I am wearing is supossed to be dressed as a tourist visiting Maryland. Maryland's state bird is a Baltimore Oriole, the state insect is a cottontail butterfly, the state flower is a Black eyed susan, the state reptile is a Diamond back terratain turtle. I think thaht Maryland is a very interesting state, and is fastinating.

  1. Wow, Megan! It looks like you worked really hard on your report.

    When my daughter Sara was in 2nd grade she did a report on Virginia. I bet you already know that Virginia is next door to Maryland!
