Three Cheers
for the Red, White, and Blue
All right, party
people! It’s almost America’s
birthday!
Tell your children
that in America we never say, “I can’t.”
We always say, “I CAN” because we are AmeriCANS!
As Americans we
try to help each other. I just heard
about a fantastic opportunity to help some of the teachers in Joplin, MO, who
lost everything in the recent tornado.
Visit birghtfuturesjoplin.org/adopt-a-classroom/ to see how you can
help.
Here’s a song to
the tune of “The Farmer in the Dell.”
The teacher who shared this said she used it to prompt her children
before they said the Pledge of Allegiance.
We love our flag.
We love our flag.
We love America
And we love our
flag.
Red, white and
blue.
Red, white, and
blue.
The colors of our
country
Are red, white,
and blue.
A simple way to
decorate for the 4th of July is to give children red, white, and
blue chalk and let them decorate the sidewalk or driveway.
I’m on my way to
the grocery store to get Rice Crispies (red, white, and blue special holiday
box) to make treats for my nieces two children who will be visiting. (The kids are a great excuse to make
these because they taste just as yummy when you’re grown!)
Come back tomorrow
and I’ll tell you how to make a fire cracker sandwich!
