What children learn in Level 49

The songs use big words about our country. Let's match them to what they mean!
Liberty and freedom mean almost the same thing: being free to choose, speak, and live your own way. America says: Sweet land of liberty, and Let freedom ring!
Brotherhood means treating each other like family. America the Beautiful says: crown thy good with brotherhood.
Pride is a happy, good feeling about something you or your group did. America says: Land of the pilgrims' pride.
Patriotism is love and pride for your country. Singing these songs is one way people show it.
Your turn! Sort the words. Which song's first verse has each one?
Try it with a grown-up! Pick one word: liberty, freedom, brotherhood, or pride. Tell about a time you saw it in real life.
