Our Unit 113 Juniors met today and we spoke about America’s Independence Day, July’s theme. We spoke about the 13 original colonies and the Declaration of Independence. We played “name that tune” with patriotic songs…The National Anthem, Yankee Doodle Dandy and This Lnd is Your Land, etc. We spoke about patriotic symbols… our flag, Statue of Liberty, Liberty bell, red/white/blue stars. We also played Bingo with patriotic symbols instead of numbers on the cards. Brayden won the first Bingo game! He got to choose a treat from the goodie box. The Juniors each received an America the Beautiful coloring book, they signed birthday cards for Veterans at Radcliff Veterans Center, and lastly they all enjoyed a red, white and blue popsicle treat! Our Juniors rock!
