Module 6: Home of the Free and the Brave
ESSENTIAL QUESTION
What makes the USA special?
Waving a flag is a fun, simple way for Kindergartners to show patriotism. The display becomes more meaningful when children appreciate the reasons why we celebrate our country.
In this module, children meet some of our greatest leaders, from Washington to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. They discover our unique symbols, like the bald eagle and apple pie, and our enduring freedoms. They explore our different landscapes and diverse people, learning that we all contribute to making the USA special.
At home, talk to your child about the holidays, traditions, symbols, etc that we all celebrate as Americans and why they are so important to all of us.
