IDAHO


mountain
Idaho is known as the Gem State.  We have a lot of places to visit, like Yellowstone Park.  It's a super volcano.  We have a lot of more places to visit. Some places to visit Sawtooth Mountains and the Snake River.  The reason why the Sawtooth Mountains are called that because it looks like a two man saw.

Dear Class,
Hello from Mr. Conants second grade class.  We attend school at Hidden Springs Elementary School in Boise, Idaho.  We absolutely love our state because of all of the great outdoor activities we get to enjoy.  Some of the things we love to do are ski in the winter, enjoy fishing and other water sports in the spring and summer, and hike and bike the many trails around us.  Many people dont know much about Idaho except for our “famous potatoes”.  Did you know that if all the mountains were squashed flat, Idaho would be as large as Texas?  We have many state symbols such as the syringe being our state flower, the Hagerman horse being our state fossil and the monarch butterfly is our state insect.  Our state gem, the star garnet, can only be found in large quantities in one other place in the world.  See if you can guess where it may be!  We hope youve learned a thing or two about our state.  Come visit us some time!
Sincerely,
Mr. Conants Second Grade Class
