This happens to be one of my favorite posts,
so like picking up a good book to read again,
I'm reposting this one.
Celebrating National Flag Week
Honoring the red, white, and blue.
Patriotic holidays and the colors of our country's flag
have always given me a sense of pride and happiness.
I'm proud to be American!
As an elementary teacher for 30 years,
patriotism was an important component
throughout the year's curriculum.
It wasn't an isolated unit,
but rather a theme that was woven into
various activities and integrated across the curriculum.
I believe it is important to teach children respect
for our country's flag and other patriotic symbols and . . .
That instilling patriotism at an early
age enables young children to understand
the responsibilities of good citizenship.
It makes my heart sing to drive
through my neighborhood and . . .
See families proudly
display the flag of our country.
It reminds me that the US is a country united,
one of liberty and justice for all.
THE STARS AND STRIPES
THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE
OLD GLORY
LONG MAY SHE WAVE
If you are an American,
pay tribute to our flag this week.
