Lessons: Patriotism

Claire and I talked about America this week. We talked about the flag, we sang patriotic songs, and we talked about America's birthday.

Coloring the flag red, white, and blue

Waving the flag

Using finger paint

Showing Dad the flag she made with paper, paint, and glue

 Helping me make a watermelon-star salad with blueberries, too!

Holding up the book America the Beautiful that we just read

 Eating her "flag" snack - she got to add the raisins

Matching shapes on flags

Gluing shapes (supposedly on the "flagpoles," but I let go of that idea pretty quickly) in the correct portion of the paper

She loved gluing so much that she asked to do it again today. So I cut out more shapes, and she did it again.
