🌎✨ Culture Share Saturday: Discover North Dakota! ✨🌎

Did you know that North Dakota is the #1 honey producer in the United States? 🍯🐝 That’s a lot of busy bees at work!

Winter in North Dakota also means snowy days and a bit of extra effort—like shoveling driveways ❄️💪. It’s all part of daily life in this northern state!

Here’s a fun fact: the teddy bear 🧸 was inspired by President Theodore Roosevelt! You can explore his legacy at Theodore Roosevelt National Park, where you might spot wild horses, bison, and breathtaking landscapes 🌄✨

And don’t forget about sunflowers 🌻—these bright, cheerful flowers can grow 6–10 feet tall (or even taller!) and are famous for turning their faces toward the sun ☀️

👩‍🏫 Classroom Activity Idea: “North Dakota Exploration Stations”
Set up 4 stations around your classroom:
🍯 Honey & Bees – Students learn about honey production and create a short “bee report”
❄️ Winter Life – Students describe how people adapt to snowy weather
🧸 Teddy Bear History – Students read a short story about Theodore Roosevelt and share one new fact
🌻 Sunflower Science – Students label parts of a sunflower or measure and compare heights
