I Pledge Allegiance...

We are just finishing a little study on the history of the American flag. The kids did an easy and fun American Flag Wall Hanging today. I got the directions here and with a little tweaking , we ended up with some really nice flags for very little cost.

It's a perfect example of how a hands-on activity can help cement what they learn....they painted on the 50 stars themselves, counted and measured the 13 stripes, etc.

While we're on the subject, I have to give a shout-out to my current favorite homeschooling website.
Lesson Pathways. And imagine my sheer delight to find that it's now free. I had a year's free, anyway, bc I am a beta tester but now everybody is free all the time!! They've taken the best websites and divided them into subjects and grades. If you have no books whatsoever but have internet access you can almost teach solely from this site.

So...go check out Lesson Pathways if you're a homeschool mom OR dad.

And God Bless The USA!!!!
