After we engaged in a rollicking Patriotic Cupcake Memory Game, a 4th of July Bingo Game, and painted our Independent Day Plaques, we engaged in a thrilling Balloon Toss Game (earning a 4th of July treat cup, flags, patriotic bottles, sunglasses, and mini hats!). Then we created a U. S. A. Flag Cake to enjoy at our Traditional Independence Day Picnic along with Submarine Sandwiches, Barbecue Chips, Watermelon, patriotic cookies, 4th of July bomb pops, and mango nectar punch. We already crafted our spectacular 4th of July shakers, made nifty patriotic fans, popsicle stick flags and colored fireworks pictures this week.
And a special thank you to my amazing mom, Colleen Phipps , who took time out of her busy schedule to make my students a cake to decorate. And, as expected, it is out of this world delicious. Yum! Thanks, mom!
