This Independence Day take the time to list (or draw!) all of things that make America great and why you're glad to call our country home!

Writing Craftivity

Made of two pieces, a full base star and cover star with 'viewing window', this printable template provides a place for students to write or draw their response to the prompt, "I'm glad to call America home because..." Invite your kiddos to write short sentences or create simple drawings on the points of the base star, then attach the cover star with a gold brad fastener. The stars will then become interactive, allowing students to spin the cover to reveal each of their reasons individually.

America The Beautiful

• Background: Royal blue bulletin board paper.
• Title: "America The Beautiful".
• Border: Patriotic themed bulletin board border.
• Decoration: Arrange your students' writing prompts around the bulletin board. If you have room on a hallway bulletin board, this display would make a great holiday addition. Parents, fellow staff members, and classmates are sure to enjoy the interactive stars!
