Minnesota

Minnesota is a big, cold place in the middle of the United States. It's where a lot of people live, work, and play. There are lots of big cities like Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duluth where people go to have fun, eat yummy food, and shop.

Minnesota is also known for its really cold winters where there's lots of snow and ice. People who live in Minnesota have to wear lots of warm clothes and coats to stay warm. It's kind of like playing dress-up all the time!

But even though it's cold, there are lots of fun things to do. You can go ice skating, sledding, or build a snowman with your friends. There are also lots of pretty lakes and parks where you can go swimming, hiking, and camping in the summer.

There are lots of different people who live in Minnesota, from all different backgrounds and cultures. They all work together to make Minnesota a great place to live. And that's what Minnesota is! It's a really cool place where people work hard, have fun, and learn from each other every day.
