Make a "Connection"
Washington has earned the nickname "The Evergreen State" because of the abundance of evergreen trees found in the state. Have your students look at other quarter designs that feature trees, such as the 2001 Vermont quarter, the 2000 South Carolina quarter, and the 1999 Connecticut quarter.
