The Star Spangled Banner

Just in time for Memorial Day!

The Smithsonian has a great exhibit of the flag that inspired our National Anthem. Even if you can't get to DC , you and your students can participate via the internet. Check out Star Spangled Banner and submit stories and pictures about the American flag and what it means to you.

Lesson plans linked to national standards and organized by grade level can be found at Star Spangled Banner Educational Resources.
