America the Beautiful Book

After teaching your children the song "America the Beautiful," get them involved in making
 a class big book based on the song.  Make a page for each phrase in the song's lyrics.
  Then have each child help illustrate on of the pages.  For example, a child might draw or paint
 a sky scene for the words "Oh, beautiful, for spacious skies" or a mountain scene for
"purple mountain's majesties."  Ask each family to send in a special picture or photo they feel
 illustrates the beauty of our country.  Attach the photo to the page that reads "America! America!"
