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!
