Kayden earned the "Give me Liberty Award" in fifth grade this year. They had a program right before school got out to show us what they had learned. These are the things that he had to pass off to get the award:

1. Pledge of Allegiance (written)
2. Pledge of Allegiance (in sign language)
3. Memorize and recite the Preamble to the Constitution
4. The Star Spangled Banner (recited or sung)
5. The names of our Presidents in the order they served
6. The 50 states (named and located on a map)
The 50 capitals (named and located on a map)
7. USA and continents located on the world map
8. The Gettysburg Address (recited by memory)
9. A line from the Declaration of Independence (recited by memory)
10. The Symbols of the USA (recited)
