Essential Questions 1. What are the symbols and traditional

practices that honor and foster patriotism in the United States? 2. What makes a good citizen?

3. How do rules help citizens?

Corresponding Big Ideas

1. We show patriotism by saying the pledge of allegiance to the American flag, singing the national anthem, and recognizing the state (GA) and American flag.

2. Good citizens obey rules that are made by leaders so that everyone can stay safe and order is maintained. Being a good citizen involves taking turns and sharing; taking responsibility for certain classroom chores; taking care of personal belongings and respecting what belongs to others; following rules and understanding the consequence of breaking rules; practicing honesty, selfcontrol, and kindness to others; participating in decision making in the classroom; participating successfully in group settings.

3. Everyone can show good citizenship when they follow the rules for a particular place. When rules are followed people can work, play and live well.
