What does it mean and why do we say it?

That was the big question today when we started "dissecting" the Pledge of Allegiance to the US flag. We looked at a book (Created by Mrs. Stagg) and learned what all those big, fancy words meant. We learned that a pledge is a promise and allegiance means to be true or loyal to something. We rewrote the pledge in kid-friendly terms!

Then we had a little fun! We used magazines to create American flags! The room was kind of a mess, but it was worth it. We had so much fun!
