This morning we continued studying America. As we have been studying Presidents specifically, we are now beginning to move into American Symbols. Today, we read a nonfiction selection, American Flag by Lisa M. Herrington. We read about the stars and stripes on the flag as well as the different places we see the flag. We also practiced The Pledge of Allegiance. We had fun making a heart shaped American Flag craft to go with our Washington and Lincoln pages. I had taken our last Florida Studies Weekly packet out of our folder and Danny began looking through it. He was asking about Benjamin Franklin and Harriet Tubman again, as we had discussed them before. He was trying to recall if they were presidents or patriots. He wanted to talk more about Harriet Tubman, so he pulled up the Brain Pop Jr. learning video about her. He scored a 4/5 on the follow-up easy quiz. Finally, we reviewed the cardinal directions. He located all 4 when I named them, but he could not name them for me. We will continue to practice until he’s able to provide the names.
