We spent a lot of time learning about the United States flag, Old Glory, last week. The Pledge of Allegiance has become part of our initial calendar routine. Although the pledge was written for children in 1892 there are still a lot of big words. A marvelous book that takes the pledge word by word (so that Micah understands what he's saying and why) is "I Pledge Allegiance" by Bill Martin Jr. and Michael Sampson. We learned about the purpose/meaning of the colors, shapes, and design of the flag, how to respect the flag, and when to fly the flag.
