My Country Connecting Pieces: Activating Prior Knowledge • Show children the flag on the front of the card. Ask them to locate your classroom flag. Have children describe the flag. Encourage them to discuss the colors, patterns, and designs they see. Explain that the flag is a symbol for our country. Point to and count the flag’s stripes. • Tell children that the stripes represent the first 13 states that made up our country. These states are known as the colonies. If a map is available, show children the original 13 colonies. Tell children that there are 50 stars in the blue section. Ask children if they know why there are 50 stars. You may need to explain that we now have 50 states in our country and that each star represents a state. New Ideas: Building Knowledge and Comprehension • Tell children that every state and every country has its own flag. Locate pictures of state flags, including your own state’s flag. Show flags to children and have them describe the colors and designs on each flag. Discuss and explain the symbols on the flags. • Help children think of ways to categorize the flag pictures. Brainstorm various flag-sorting categories. Sorting ideas may include colors, stars/no stars, stripes/no stripes, words/no words, and picture/no picture. Write the categories on a sheet of chart paper. Distribute the flag pictures to children. Have them determine the category for each flag and place it under the correct label. flag • Hold up a flag and wave it around. Tell children that the flag is flying. Repeat, “The flag is flying,”emphasizing the /fl/ sound. Have children repeat the phrase with you. Remind them to pay attention to the /fl/ sound in the words . • Tell children that you will say a word and they need to repeat the word you say. If the word has the /fl/ sound at the beginning, they should wave their arms like a flying flag. If the word begins with a different sound, children should stand stiff and still like a flagpole. You may wish to use the following words: fluff (yes) flip (yes) flop (yes) #14285 flag The flag for our country is red, white, and blue.
