The Declaration of Independence was studied before
Christmas break and was discussed again on Tuesday.
We read The 4th of July Story by Alice Dalgliesh,
discussed the Declaration and its dispersement to the colonies by broadsides on
horseback.
The children made horses carrying broadsides. We also mentioned the Liberty Bell and
talked of how its signing is remembered when we celebrate on the 4th of July
each year. The kids make 4th of July
confetti poppers to commemorate this.
We continue to work with marching songs and rhythms, as well as learning the parts of the Grand Staff.
