One of the funnest parts (for some people) of the 4th of July is the fireworks! We had a great time making these fireworks on our paper WITH sound effects. ;)
We also read a book "The Star Spangled Banner" that depicted our country's flag, current traditions, and paintings of early Revolutionary war time soldiers to the lyrics of the national anthem. We noticed the colors of the flag and briefly talked about how seeing the flag can make us feel proud of our country. We each used a red, blue, or white bandanna to wave and made our own parade for Circle Time. "Yankee Doodle" makes for great marching!
