4th of July Lesson Plan: Evaluation: CFU

This kindergarten lesson plan focuses on teaching students about the 4th of July through a story, discussion, and craft activities. The plan includes introducing the colors of the American flag, who made the first flag, and locating America on a map. Students will then participate in three stations - making paper flag crafts, penny pendants, and coloring a picture of Betsy Ross. To conclude, the class will have another story and discussion to reinforce the concepts and assess the students' understanding. The goal is to teach students about American symbols and holidays while also practicing discussion skills.
