Today we talked in length about the American Flag. We got to look at some of the actual old flags that were made back in Betsy Ross' time. Very cool! Tonight kids have to design their own American Flag as if they were General George Washington. They only have three rules:1. They have to only use red, white, and blue. 2. There has to be 50 stars. 3. There has to be 13 stripes. Other than that...they are on their own.
We were all stumped on what the colors of the flag stand for. What does blue stand for? What does red stand for? What does white stand for? Find out tonight by researching, and earn $25 dollars for each correct answer. Write the answers in the planner.
For an even extra $50 have your child share with you what pattern the stars on the first flag that Betsy Ross made were in. Write the answer in the planner in your handwriting.
Have a great night!
Above is a quick video of one of our daily activities at our Character Circle Meetings. Kids are learning how to do a proper handshake with one another. They are especially working on good eye contact, pumping hands only three times, and saying good morning and their friend's name. They are doing great...as you can see! :0)
