Land of the Free

Last week was Independence Day. We talked about living in America and I showed them a map of the United States of America. We talked about the American Flag and what colors are on it, as well as what the Stars and Stripes represent. We also practiced saying the Pledge of Allegiance and what it means to live in America and be free. Afterwards, we made our own flags. They had a lot of fun with these. I think next time I need to buy more stars though. Everyone wanted to put all 50 on their flags :)

 Water Sensory Table: I love the cute little girl who was all decked out in her 4th of July attire. One of the kids said she looked just like a flag.  (Complete opposite of my little girl who rolled out of bed at 9:45  and was still in her pajamas. :)
