This is My Country

To start our unit, students were exposed to symbols that they often see in their community. We talked about what symbols are. 

We then went on a walk around the school to locate more symbols and then went back to the room to discuss their meaning. 

Learning Targets for This is My Country

1. I can show how people in the past have been leaders for our country. This means I can… 
   • state what I think makes a good leader and give a reason why. 
   • use a picture or story about long ago to see an example of a leader. 
   • tell how people in the past kept trying even when things got hard. 
   • use the examples of others to grow as a leader. 
2. I can recite and say what the Pledge of Allegiance means. This means I can… 
   • say the Pledge of Allegiance with my classroom community. 
   • tell what some of the words in the Pledge mean. (i.e., republic, nation, liberty, or justice) 
   • see an example of one of the words in my classroom community. 
3. I can say how the United States flag is a symbol of our country. This means I can…
