WHAT DOES IT MEAN, THE FLAG

#1 What do they mean, the stripes of red?

#2 Courage and freedom for those who fled.

#3 What do they mean, the stars of white?

#4 Each for a State, altogether with might.

#5 What does it mean the field of blue?

#6 Ancestors who came and were willing

to do. Courage to work and to dare...and to die,

Faith likes the stars that light the sky,

Honor and vision towering high.

That’s what it means, THE FLAG WE FLY.

 

HISTORICAL PRESENTATION

#1 Mexico’s government is a

republic with an elected president and

congress much like the US. They

have a Senate and chamber of

deputies. There are 29 States.

#2 Their money is called the Peso

#3 It is 1/5 the size of the U.S. The

States of California, Arizona, New

Mexico, & Texas are on the 1,549

mile border and the Rio Grande

river flows along 2/3 of it.

#4 They have the greatest variety of

plants of any country in the world.

(There are over 500 kinds of

cactus.) There are also 350 kinds

of birds. They export most of the

chicle that makes gum that the

world uses. (Chicle comes from

the Sapodilla tree.)

#5 They have two seasons, rainy

and dry, rainy is from May to

October.

#6 Their language is Spanish. We

use many of their words: chili con

carne, desperado, lasso, patio,

rodeo, taco, canyon, and

stampede.

#7 Mexico has freedom of religion,

as the U.S. does, but 90% of

Mexicans are Roman Catholic.
