After traveling our beautiful country, patriotic songs and poems have a whole new meaning. Since we've been home (well, back near Calvert County in a different house), we've been reliving memories under a different lens. Here are some of Banana's projects from the last week. She analyzed the lyrics in the song America the Beautiful and illustrated what the song meant to her. Each state includes one of her favorite memories from our beautiful United States. She read the poetry book My America: A Poetry Atlas of the United States, then wrote her own poem about an experience she had at the Sand Caves in Kanab, Utah. Sand CavesClimbing up a sand hill so slick Hard to find hold where our feet don't slip. I must admit it was worth the climb, a dark cave with arches of light. A perfect place for animals to hide. The cars down below honk so loud As they see us dance nice and proud. The down was like a slide. We made it back to the car. The steepness caused no scar, The adventure proved who we are. What does the American Flag mean to me?The American flag stands for our nation. It has 13 stripes for the 13 original colonies: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massecursettes, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. The flag also has 50 stars for all the states in America. After 9-11, everyone went and bought American flags and put it on the front of their store or on their front porch so everyone knew that they were American and they will use all their strength to fight for their country. Even people who lived in America but weren't American had flags to show their support for America. To me, the American flag stands for how strong America and its people are. We will fight for our country and we will not surrender. We will keep going until we die. The flag has been held through almost all the wars we have had and it has never and will never hit the ground. We will carry it through every war and we will remain free as long as our flag stands. Our flag will also wave in honor of those who got injured, disabled, or died and those who served to save our country. We hope that the later warriors will survive in later fights and they will save our freedom and hope in times of need. Our flag makes us strong and always will. Our flag will always stand strong and will never be replaced. Banana would love to hear your feedback. Feel free to leave a comment!
