First of all, the land near Rhode Island is Connecticut. It is also in the Atlantic Ocean. 1045 square miles covers the whole land of Rhode Island. There are 186 square miles in the water. The island might be small, but the bay is a major food source. If the pipe is broken, the waste water flows into the bay. If that does, they have to close the bay for weeks, maybe months.

Second of all, Rhode Island’s flag has 13 stars, an anchor, and a symbol of hope. The stars stand for the 13 colonies. It became the state flag on 1897.

Third of all, the anchor has been used for hundreds of years. The word hope was put in1644 and still remains. The seal became the state seal on 1897.

Fourth of all, do you know Rhode Island’s state bird? It is the red hen. Did you know it is a chicken?

Fifth of all, Voilot is a flower. It is also the state flower. Voilot is the most popular choice.

Sixth of all, do you know the song “Rhode Island It’s For Me?”

I’ve been to every state we have
and I think I’m inclined to say
that Rhody stole my heart:
You can keep the forty-nine.

Herring gulls that dot the sky,
blue waves that paint the rocks,
waters rich with Neptune’s life,
the boats that line the docks,
I see the lighthouse flickering
to help sailors see.

Rhode Island, oh, Rhode Island
surrounded by sea.
Some people roam the earth for home.
Rhode Island it’s for me.

In conclusion, I hope you know more of Rhode Island.
