The Poem

A Flag For Me and You

Red, white, and blue,
Red, white, and blue,
A flag for me,
A flag for you.
It is the flag of our great nation,
It's honored by each generation.
Join me now in celebration,
Red, white, and blue.

Add the poem to the blue construction paper and have your students add it to their calendar artwork!
