Since Rhode Island Independence Day is May 4, we decided it was the perfect theme for this week.  We learned lots of new things, like the state flower (violet), the state beverage (coffee), that the first circus in the United States was held there in 1774, and lots of other neat facts that are included in the book.  We also have a few of our students taking in some of the sights on the front cover and the “the end” page, so check it out!
