What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Six symbols and holidays pages for ages 3-5. Children color and count the American flag, match American symbols to their shadows and match each symbol to its holiday. The other pages are personal: they draw their birthday party, draw something they are thankful for and share it, and circle the ways their family celebrates. Three pages have an answer key.
Can I use this american symbols and holidays worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for Preschool symbols and holidays, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with american symbols and holidays. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
