Introduction
In Mrs. Johnson's class you have been learning about Wisconsin and its state symbols. Now you will be looking more closely at one specific state and its symbols.
Task
For this project you will be writing a list on the State's symbols that has been assigned to you. This assignment must include a minimum of four symbols such as the state bird.
Here are some websites to go to for your specific state:

Process
You will look on one of the websites that I have suggested and give a list of the symbols witha brief description of why each is a symbol of their state. Your list will look a little like this
