Today was a brutal day with homework. The first graders had 15 pages. The fifth graders had a lot, too. I don't know what all the fifth graders had, but I do know they had to make flags. Brayan had the United States Flag and Pamela had the Honduras flag, which is, by far, easier to make.
Brayan lined everything off and colored the red stripes. Sandra and I both took turns drawing the fifty stars. We did not exactly get them spaced evenly, but there is fifty. Then Brayan colored the blue around the stars. He had a book that showed the 1818 flag that only had 20 stars. He asked why he couldn't do that one instead of one with fifty. I explained what the star and stripes meant and that in 1818 there were not as many states in the United States. Then he and Sandra explained to me what the Honduras flag meant. We all learned something tonight.
Brayan was very pleased with himself when he finished that flag.
