*Stallone Tested and Approved:  Today’s rhyming activity was fun and patriotic.  Stallone liked learning the new words that rhyme with “flag.”  He loved the word “wag” as he would point to our dog’s tails and say “wag.”  It was too cute!  He liked arranging the red strips of paper and making the American Flag.  This is a great lesson, as it helps teach new words and allows your child to practice their rhyming skills.
