American Symbol Banner

This American Symbol Banner is an activity that I created to help jazz up my classroom for Open House. I am usually doing my Rain Forest Unit when we have Open House and it is much more colorful, so I felt my room needed something to liven it up. Hanging these banners from the ceiling seems to be a good solution to my problem.

It is a very simple project and other than a quick, inexpensive trip to Party City for the crepe paper streamers, it didn't really take much time to get it ready for my students.

If you are interested, I have made this American Symbol Banner project available as a Freebie on my TpT Store. It has complete instructions and the template for this banner. Along with the banner page, I have also included some American Symbol pictures in the packet that you might find helpful.

I actually used the pictures to dress up a president display that I put up in my classroom. One of my students brought in some president cards and I thought it would be a good addition for Open House. We don't actually learn all the presidents in first grade, but my students have been trying to learn some of them on their own. I think the thing that is throwing them off is that so many of the presidents look alike to them.

I hope that you enjoy this American Symbol Freebie. Please feel free to visit my TpT Store to view my other products.
