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.
