Red, White, and Blue

To go along with 9/11 and Constitution Day we read Debbie Clement's book, Red, White, and Blue.  It has a cute song that goes along with it and my class LOVED it!  We even got to sing it for the principal on Friday!  He loved it, too.  :)  

So here we are, for your listening pleasure.  
(Make sure to turn off the music playing on the right, so you can hear our sweet voices!)  


Parents, if you are concerned that your child is on YouTube for all the world to see, don't be.  :)  I always list the videos in a way that people can only see it through this blog.  Let me know if you have any questions or concerns about it.  

I didn't find out about Debbie's cute book/song until the night before I wanted to use it.  But, Debbie being the wonderful woman she is, helped me get the song that night!  Thanks again, Debbie!  :)  

{If you would like to order her book/song, she is having a promotion through the end of September.  Go here, enter the PROMO Code RWB911 and receive a 20% discount!}

In honor of September 11th, I read the class these two books:

and then we made Pledge Hearts.

9/11 Activity

Sunny Days in Second Grade is hosting a linky party for 9/11 activities.  Since I was planning on discussing 9/11 with my class on Monday, I was glad to find all these great activities.  I absolutely LOVE her American Flag Hearts.  I think this is a perfect craft my class can do.  


On one side of the heart they make the American flag.  On the other side they write the Pledge of Allegiance.  I made a couple hearts that I will copy back to back to make it a little more first grade friendly.  I made one heart that has lines for the children to write the pledge themselves, and one that has the pledge already written for them to trace.  I'm not sure which one I'll end up using... I think it just depends on how much time we have.  Sometimes copying a simple paragraph can take them about 31 hours.  :)  I also added two different stars to cut out and use from DJ Inkers and a template to use for the top left corner.  Enjoy!
