Fun with Flags!
Our 6th graders have been researching different types of governments and their flags. Once they identified their country, they recreated the flag of the country. They also learned about the symbols on the flags as well as the meaning of the colors used on the flag. This knowledge will help them as they think about what symbols have meaning to them and will be represented on their own created country's flag. I have seen a lot of stars, stripes, suns and flowers on their personal flags.
