PERQUIMANS RESPONSE NO. 13 "
The Bicentennial Celebration of our country's birth ,
presents many unique opportunities to claim children's at
tention. Here Tommy Tilley of the" 5th grade class in
Special Reading at the Hertford Grammar School is about
to add a piece to the flag puzzle on the wall. ' ,
The flag is our first one to be called national. It is the
one made by Betsy Ross, if. tradition can be believed, in
1776. The 13 red and white stripes and the 13 stars in a cir
cle on the blue field represent the 13 colonies who had just
declared themselves to be "free' and independent states."
Children in the reading classes have to earn their puzzle
pieces; . For some indicated exercise their teacher, Mrs.
Monds, may say, "Everyone who doesn't make a mistake
gets a piece of the flag." Or it might be a sentence dic
tated. The children "who write without a mistake "What
did I hear you say?", as an example, may stick on
another part of the flag puzzle. The dictation sentences
and the exercises or whatever the activity all change
as the class works on different reading skills.
Another piece to add to the flag might be a reward for
especially good reading by an individual student. All good
work and effort gets rewarded in some way, and current
ly the rewards are building "Our First National Flag."
