Fireworks Discussion

With all of the activity of the Fourth of July, talk with the children about safety,
especially around fireworks.  Once you have emphasized the safety rules, begin to
discuss the brilliant colors of the fireworks.  Have a long sheet of butcher paper, tempera
 paint, and brushes ready.  Let the children enjoy painting fireworks in the sky. Hang up!

 

Fireworks Safety

We will talk about fireworks safety:
-Fireworks are not toys (this includes sparklers)
-Fireworks should only be let off in wide-open spaces outside.
-Never point or throw fireworks at another person
-Only adults can handle fireworks
-When an adult lights a firework, stand far away from it
-Remind your parents to keep water nearby in case there is a problem
-If you find a leftover scrap of a firework or an extra firework,
give it to an adult

 

Circle Time Discussion

At circle we will be talking about what the flag looks like and means. I will bring a picture of the
 Betsy Ross version of the flag and a map of the 13 Colonies to illustrate how many states there
 were when that flag was designed. I will also bring a picture of the current flag and a map of the USA.
