Lesson Plans - 4th Grade

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.

Our Flag Throughout History

Students create a timeline of the history of the flag, which serves as a quick visual reference point for discussions of history as well as an interactive learning tool.

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.

Folk Music

Concentrate on learning more about the folk music composers in Early American History.
Patriotic Music is our first one.
