1 THE GREAT AMERICAN AWARD September 2015 Dear Parents, Your fifth grader will have the choice of participating in our Great American Award program this year. The Great American Award program fits into our curriculum beautifully because so many of our Social Studies objectives relate to American history. This program was established by a teacher at Andrew J. Mitchell Elementary School in Boulder City, NV in 1989, and is very popular among many schools and districts. This award will be given to all fifth graders who successfully complete the following requirements: 1. Write the Pledge of Allegiance with no spelling or punctuation errors. 2. Recite or sing the first verse of the National Anthem: The Star-Spangled Banner 3. Correctly answer (90% correct) the questions on the United States Citizenship Tests. a) Test 1 b) Test 2 c) Test 3 d) Test 4 e) Test 5 f) Test 6 g) Test 7 4. Identify the 50 states on a map (1 help) 5. Match the 50 states and capitals 6. Recite from memory, in order of Presidency, the Presidents of the United States, first and last names (2 helps) 7. Recite the Preamble of the United States Constitution 8. Recite the Gettysburg Address (3 helps) The students have from now until May 13, 2016 to complete these requirements. Every Friday there will be time set aside for students to try and pass off. Students may attempt the requirements in any order, and there is no limit on the number of tries to complete each item. We will honor the students who achieve the Great American Award at the end of the school year with a special award. Parents will be notified in advance of the specific time and date of the awards presentation. Attached you will find a packet of materials so that you can begin working with your child. We encourage all fifth graders to take this opportunity to expand their Great American knowledge! Thank you! Mrs. Fox, Mr. Olson. Mrs. Saunders

5 The Gettysburg Address *Recite from memory the Gettysburg Address* (3 helps) Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. November 19, 1863
