Our first "school-like" project, we entered Arizona into the geography fair. Unlike the assignments I recall from my own school years prior, this was a blast. We started a month-and-a-half early, and worked at a casual pace building our presentation. Lauren and I shared the work, as is allowed when the intention is true learning. But her creativity and effort shine through.
The 48th state, Arizona was established in 1912. The 13 rays
on the state flag represent the original colonies and mimic the sunset. The blue is liberty blue, from the U.S. flag, and the copper star stands for the large amount of copper mining. The drawing depicts Geronimo, chased by U.S. cavalry, he leaps off a cliff, shouting his own name before landing safely in the river below. Arizona's natural resources as they are distributed throughout the state, significant landmarks,
and a historical timeline of AZ compared with U.S. history. Twenty-seven states were represented this year.
