Flags of North America

Finally!  The Flags of the World have begun making their appearance in the classroom!  I have been wanting to incorporate this material for years - the children have been learning about North America and I thought they would appreciate learning about the flags of different countries.  I have only introduced the series of flags (which came with the set I purchased) for North America  and plan to introduce others at a later time.

My students have been so intrigued by the flags and have enjoyed an accompanying coloring activity available on the art shelves.

Coloring the United States and Canadian flags:  I have purposefully written the corresponding flag's country on a label for each jar -  The children are able to read the printed version on the paper and the written (cursive ) version on the jar.      A component of the lesson is to match the printed word to the written word to be sure the correct jar is in place and used.

I look forward to adding more flags and rotating the coloring activity.  We also plan to save some of these flags to make booklets of the Flags of the World.
