Flag Project


Flag Project
Your letters and sight word sheet lists a flag project for the week of October 7th. We are pushing this project back one week. It will be included as part of your child’s homework for our conference week, the week of October 14th. Below is a description of the project if you wish to get an early start!

A Flag for Addison Project
Due Friday, October 18th
During this quarter, kindergarten students have been  studying the American Flag and the Georgia Flag.  They have learned that everything on the flag has a special meaning; the colors, the stars, and even the number of stripes. 

For this project, students will be creating a flag for Addison Elementary.  Students must use at least 3 different types of materials to make the flag. For example paper, foam, wood, metal, plastic, cardboard, cloth or any others they wish as long as the flag fits on an 9 x 12 piece of construction paper (one piece will be provided.)  Students will also be required to explain how the colors, symbols, and materials chosen relate to Addison.

For Example:  Your child might say:
  • “The color green stands for our Green Alligator mascot.”
  •  “The pencils stands for learning to write.”
Minimum Requirements:
  • The flag must be made of at least 3 different materials. Your child should be able to name the materials.
  • Your child must explain at least 3 different symbols/ components shown on the flag.
  • This work should be a product of your child’s best effort.

We hope this is a fun activity for your child and you. As always if you have any questions or needs, please let us know how we can help!

KIndergator Update

Happy first week of Kindergarten! It has been a really smooth transition so far, so thank you parents. Here are some things we worked on this week: Rules, rules and more rules. What to do if you don't know what to do......raise your hand or look for a clue! Who are the people in your campground (school)? Who are the people in you camp (through sharing our all about me bags)? Next week we move into our regular schedule and begin curriculum. Our focus will be getting used to the schedule, building independence and an "I can" attitude. Look for an update next week to see how well we did. In the meantime here are some great quotes from our class this week. "I have a joke for you" "Okay" "What did the corn dog say?" "What?" "No. no monkey!" The whole class falls out laughing. "The lunch choices are hamburger, mac and cheese or salad. What would you like?" "Pizza." "Well there is ...
