Spring Break means that it is time to begin working on my TO DO List! I began today by making a few revision to my U.S. Symbols packet. 

I was asked by a few people to add a couple more stops into the U.S. Symbols Passport so now this packet includes: Mount Rushmore, White House, Liberty Bell, Bald Eagle, Statue of Liberty, American Flag and the Washington Monument. 

Here is a little preview of what is included:

To help learn facts all about the U.S. Symbols we used some really CHEAP but AMAZING books that I purchased from Scholastic. These books are by Lloyd G. Douglas and they are easy readers packed with information. 

    

This packet also includes a fun little torn art flag craftivity that I use to display above our completed passports. (Note: This picture was taken before I updated the cover of the unit.)

All blacklines to create the adorable torn-paper flag and person.

 

To help learn facts about the US symbols we used some really CHEAP but AMAZING books I purchased from Scholastic. These books are by Lloyd G. Douglas and they are easy readers packed with information.

We completed one writing page for each symbol. The "Fun Fact" was their favorite part! Here is a sample from one page in the book. 

 This was such a fun unit that helped prepare students for the upcoming election! If you feel there are any important symbols missing, please leave a comment and I would be happy to include them in the passport!

U.S. Symbols

This quarter we worked on U.S. Symbols. We created this U.S. Passport to document our travels and the kids had so much fun. When we were done "traveling" through the symbols the kids created a torn-paper flag and they looked amazing hanging in our room during September 11th. I have just posted the U.S. Passport on my TPT page, enjoy!
