Summer is a great time to think outside of the box as you lesson plan! Flexibility with your lesson plans in the summer is also key, since students are often taking more sporadic lessons due to summer vacations, camps, sports, and other activities. So, over the next several weeks, I will be sharing a series of fun lesson plans that will be perfect for busy students (and teachers) this summer! Each lesson plan focuses on one skill and includes links to FREE worksheets and activities that can be completed in the space of a 30 minute lesson. Lesson Plan #3 is full of activities that celebrate Independence Day! Keep reading to see the summer fun.... In honor of Independence Day, today I am sharing a patriotic freebie--an elementary version of the "Star-Spangled Banner," including lyrics. Get your free copy HERE! Looking for more patriotic songs? This arrangement is part of my "Patriotic American Songs" collection, available HERE. Wishing all who celebrate a safe and happy 4th of July! For those of us in the United States, Independence Day is just around the corner! This collection is a perfect way to celebrate the holiday with your elementary students. This mini-book contains 5 famous patriotic songs, including lyrics, arranged at the elementary level. The last page of the book features historical background about each piece in the collection.
