Kansas Symbols

This webquest is designed to be used during whole
group instruction in kindergarten. There are a few materials that will need to
be gathered ahead of time. These can be found at the bottom of both the process
page and the evaluation page (in the resources section).  

Standards

This web quest covers a portion of the KSHGSS (Kansas Standards for History, Government, & Social Studies) for Kindergarten. However, it can be adapted or modified to fit first or second grade as well!

Credits

There are a ton of great websites about Kansas and our state symbols! Here are a few of my favorites that made it onto our quest:
