  farms and corn
Greetings from Iowa!
We are a 4th grade class at Mitchellville Elementary located in Mitchellville, Iowa.  Our school is located about 12 miles East of Des Moines.  We are studying rocks in science and learned that the state rock of Iowa is the Geode.  Our state bird is the Eastern Gold Finch.  Iowa is the number one corn producing state.  We are also studying about the 50 states and the regions.  Iowa is a great place to visit!  We look forward to learning about your state, also!

Our state bird is the goldfinch.  Our state flower is the wild rose.  We have all four seasons.  We are mostly flat farmland.  200 years ago we were mostly short grass prairie in this area.  The capital of our state is Des Moines.  We are located 20 miles east of the capital.  Our school motto is Kind, Caring, a place for Sharing.  Our mascot is the mustang.  We are a 1st grade class with 19 students.  Our favorite subject is math.
