Betsy Ross- Introduction

Betsy Ross: Designer of Our Flag 

(Childhood of Famous Americans)

Written By Ann Weil

This Book recreates the childhood of the woman traditionally remembered as the maker of the first American flag, which was secretly presented to General George Washington in Philadelphia in 1776.

We have decided to read this story from the curriculum "Beyond Five In A Row" next. Please read each chapters posts.

Activities the children completed before starting the story

The kids watched a video from you- tube about Betsy Ross's life and they also went on a tour of her home in Pennsylvania on the computer. They read an article to learn about Betsy Ross and completed a worksheet and coloring page. ( These worksheets came from www.teacherspayteachers.com)

Thanks for Reading!
