Freedom Week Sept. 21-25th
This week we are looking at different symbols of our country! So far today we focused on the United States Flag. We learned the flag has 13 strips (7 red and 6 white). These stripes represent the first 13 colonies! If you notice there are also 50 white stars on a blue background. The 50 stars all represent the 50 states! (That's right...Arkansas has its very own star!) We plan to look more into other symbols but today we really focused on the flag and our Pledge of Allegiance. We have decided as a class that we realize many boys, girls, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, wives, and many more have sacrificed their loved one so that we could have freedom. Freedom to come to school, wear what we want, eat what we want, drink what we want, go to church, not go to church, and so much more! We want to first of all say THANK YOU to all the men and women present day, past, and future who have served or will serve our country! Our words could not say thank you enough!
Here are a few questions to see if you can help us out:
