Symbols of America

Last week we spent time learning about important symbols that represent America.

We discussed symbols like the:

• American Flag
• Liberty Bell
• White House
• Statue of Liberty
• Lincoln Memorial (and many others!)
• Bald Eagle

After our discussions, we made our own American Symbols Mini Book.
