“They didn‘t have enough room in their little house to put the big flag together. “

A teacher could use this book to introduce the history of the flag, and the symbolism within. Students could design their own flags after reading the story and discuss the symbolism behind their flags.

Week 9: Historical Fiction! Amazing story about flags and the makers. This story has many clues that pertain to the timing of this story. The illustrations are bright and beautiful, really matching the story. Published: 1988.

I have an odd love for historical children‘s chapter books. On vacation last week in a thrift store, I found this book about Betsy Ross and someone‘s grocery list from 1975. I think this is the oldest dated item I have ever found in a book.

LiteraryinPA That‘s such a fun discovery! 1y

Thinking about this today.

“If we can't confront the reality that taking a knee has nothing to do with disrespecting the flag, then it will be difficult for us to move forward.”

On September 14, 1814, U.S. soldiers at Baltimore‘s Fort McHenry raised a huge American flag to celebrate a crucial victory over British forces during the War of 1812. The sight of those “broad stripes and bright stars” inspired Francis Scott Key to write a song that eventually became the national anthem. This is that flag. When I viewed it at the Smithsonian in DC it was an awesome sight

BayouGirl85 I remember seeing that flag at the Smithsonian. Everyone around you stand in silence outside this glass. I sense of aww and reverence hangs in the air. 4y

CMB The flag symbolizes great sacrifice made by others on our collective behalf. Despite all our societal failings, this country still represents the best opportunity to continue progress towards equality and justice for all. It‘s worthy of respect. 🇺🇸 4y

A Flag for our Country written by Eve Spencer is a great collection for our class library. It is a NF book which can be used as a RA or S especially on Flag Day! This book is all about the flag and Betsy Ross life when making the flag.

AlyssaB An UDL strategy is 1.1 which offers ways of customizing the display of information. An ESOL strategy would be 9 which teaches note-taking strategies about the facts of the first flag. A resource would be http://www.loc.gov/teachers/tps/quarterly/critical_thinking/pdf/elementary_activ... which allows you to compare and contrast the first flag to our current. #UCFLAE3414F19 5y
DrSpalding The Library of Congress is such a high-quality resource. Continue to use this in your future classes as a resource for incorporating not only language arts but social studies. I like the idea of a storytelling because you would be able to use this each year prior to your students going on summer break and experiencing Flag Day! 5y
