Flag Project Date Change

Your letters and sight word sheet lists a flag project for the week of October 7th. We are pushing this project back one week. It will be included as part of your child’s homework for our conference week, the week of October 14th. Below is a description of the project if you wish to get an early start!

A Flag for Addison Project
Due Friday, October 18th

During this quarter, kindergarten students have been  studying the American Flag and the Georgia Flag.  They have learned that everything on the flag has a special meaning; the colors, the stars, and even the number of stripes.  

For this project, students will be creating a flag for Addison Elementary.  Students must use at least 3 different types of materials to make the flag. For example paper, foam, wood, metal, plastic, cardboard, cloth or any others they wish as long as the flag fits on an 9 x 12 piece of construction paper.  Students will also be required to explain how the colors, symbols, and materials chosen relate to Addison.

For Example:  Your child might say:
• “The color green stands for our Green Alligator mascot.”
• “The pencils stands for learning to write.”

Minimum Requirements:
• The flag must be made of at least 3 different materials. Your child should be able to name the materials.
• Your child must explain at least 3 different symbols/ components shown on the flag. 
• This work should be a product of your child’s best effort.

We hope this is a fun activity for your child and you. As always if you have any questions or needs, please let us know how we can help!
