An American Symbol - The American Flag

We have been talking and learning about different American Symbols over the last couple of weeks.  We had a great time making The American Flag and writing about the flag.  We first read and watch a video about the flag.  We then made a tree map and write about the flag. We made the flag by having our students tear paper to make the red stripes and the blue.  They then had to put 5 rows of ten glue dots to make the starts.  They put glitter on the glue to symbolize the stars.
