Learning All About Our National Anthem
Plainfield

Fourth graders in Ms. Stephanie Wubbena's music class at Plainfield Elementary School learned all about "The Star Spangled Banner" this week.

This patriotic song comes from Maryland, as indicated by the colorful map of the United States with Maryland highlighted in the center.

There were various stations set up around the classroom, ranging from activities about why the song was written, information on who Francis Scott Key was, the meaning of the lyrics and a crossword puzzle.
