Lesson Plans - By Month

Seeing Stars

Students follow directions to make five-point stars like the ones on the American flag.

This Is America! Flag Collage

Students cut up magazines and newspapers to create an American flag collage — a visual essay of their thoughts about “What America Means to Me.”

Fold the Flag

Students learn to fold a flag properly and practice the technique by folding paper flags.

Peace Pledge

I used this lesson with my children after the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. We are an upstate community of New York and have been hard hit by these horrific events. My students needed some type of pro-active activity to help them cope.

The 50 States

To identify the location of a state, compare population sizes from various states, learn the state bird, flag, and location on the map.
