Patriotic theme
By Amy

Our school made a flag out of handprints. The students traced their hands(fingers touching) on red, white,and blue construction paper and then cut the handprints out. We then assembled the flag by putting a square of white
paper in the top left corner, placing blue handprints as stars on the white square(handprints are placed horizontally), then we made stipes out of the red and white handprints.It takes many handprints. I have also seen this done using paint.
Our kindergarten teachers also did the theme"United We Stand" and had large boy and girl cut-outs to represent each student. The students decorated

the cut-out to look like themself. Then they made flags out of construction paper,attatched them to a vertical piece of brown paper(like a banner) and put them in each of their hands. It was quite a display! Hope these ideas are helpful:-)
