Since the worksheet is titled “My State,” it’s meant for you to fill in information about
your own state — the one you live in or are studying. There’s no single correct answer because every state has different facts!
But since I don’t know which state you’re from, I’ll show you how to complete this using
California as an example. You can replace these with your own state’s info.

Let’s go step by step:
1.) Nickname: California is called “The Golden State”
2.) Size: About 163,696 square miles (you can say “large” or look up exact number)
3.) Population: Around 39 million people (as of recent estimates)
4.) Motto: “Eureka” (which means “I have found it!”)
5.) Song: “I Love You, California”
6.) Nearby States: Oregon, Nevada, Arizona
7.) State Bird: California Quail
8.) State Tree: California Redwood
9.) State Flower: California Poppy
10.) Year it became a state: 1850
11.) State Flag: Bear flag with a grizzly bear and red star
12.) Industry: Technology, agriculture, entertainment (Hollywood), tourism

✔ Now, here’s what YOU should do:
- Think about YOUR state.
- Look up any facts you don’t know (ask a parent, teacher, or use a safe website like kids.nationalgeographic.com).
- Fill in each blank with your state’s real info.
You’ve got this! Just take it one line at a time.
Final Answer:
This worksheet must be filled out with facts about YOUR specific state. Since I don’t know which state you’re from, I used California as an example above. Replace those answers with your own state’s nickname, size, population, motto, song, nearby states, bird, tree, flower, year it joined the U.S., flag description, and main industries.
