Last week we talked about the Pledge of Allegiance. As part of their social studies grade, I would like each student to be able to say the Pledge. We say it every morning as a class, so most students should be familiar with it. They may say it any day this week.
“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

*Extra Credit Project: Students may create a poster of baby animals and adult animals. They need to show the animal or animals as babies and as adults and label them. (Example: Kitten and Cat, Puppy and Kitten) Projects need to be turned in by January 29th.
