American Symbols

Essential Question:
How do symbols help us understand the world around us?

The first grade Social Studies curriculum includes learning about important American symbols.  The following symbols have been introduced through books and short videos.  


American Flag

Pledge of Allegiance
White House


Lincoln Memorial



Liberty Bell

Statue of Liberty
Washington Monument

Bald Eagle


  Click the image below to view a video with your child.  Can he/she successfully identify the American symbols?  Encourage your child to find a mistake...








Is your child able to share any facts they learned?  Please help them leave a comment below.  The comment could begin with "I learned".  He/She can write about a fact learned at school or one they learned from you.  We will be reading the comments together. Thanks so much for your cooperation.

Looking for a fun extension activity to do at home?  The images below are links to videos which will give step by step instructions how to draw some of the symbols your child has studied.
