1st Grade: The Declaration of Independence


Lesson Introduction

A group of five smart, brave men wrote the Declaration of Independence. It was a special letter they sent to the British king. They told the king they wanted to make their own rules and be in charge of their own country. They wanted independence. In the Declaration of Independence, the colonists said that everyone should be treated equally and with fairness.

When everyone is treated fair in your clubhouse, you share and help each other. The colonists also told the British king that they had a right to be safe and happy. They wanted the chance to have fun and feel safe, just like how you want to feel in your clubhouse. Let’s watch another episode of Star Spangled Adventures to learn more about the Declaration of Independence.
