Exploring the Bayou State in the Classroom
When teaching state history, visual aids help students remember key facts. Our state symbol sheets include the brown pelican, the state bird, and the fragrant magnolia blossom. You can pair these with our general educational worksheets for a complete social studies lesson. Students can learn about the unique wetland ecosystems while coloring swamp tours, cypress trees, and the diverse wildlife that calls the southern marshes home.
The Louisiana Purchase
The 1803 acquisition of the Louisiana territory was a major milestone in US history. The history coloring sheets depict the signing of the treaty, flatboats approaching New Orleans, and Thomas Jefferson reviewing the map. These pages are useful for elementary and middle school history units. They allow students to visualize the territorial expansion that doubled the size of the country and opened up the western frontier to new exploration.
