Dear Parent or Guardian:
This week we are studying the character trait of patriotism.
The definition of patriotism is: |
|
love and loyal support of one's country. |
At any time patriotism is an appropriate topic of conversation to have
with our adolescents. At this age, they are beginning to question ideas
that used to seem black and white; now they see that there are more than
just two options in a given topic. Of course, we want our children to
love the country in which they live. We want them to strive to do their
best and help safeguard the freedoms the Constitution gives us. We want
our young people to feel pride in their country, tempered with understanding
and awareness of others.
If you would like to help reinforce what we are studying this week in
character education, here are some ideas for you and your son or daughter
to work on together.
| |
Talk about your favorite memories of being patriotic
as a young child. Did you march in a Memorial Day parade? Take flowers
to the cemetery for a soldier buried there? Fly the flag from your
front porch? What rituals would your family like to create now? |
| |
If you or a neighbor has family members from another
country, learn what they do to show patriotism for their homeland.
How is it the same or different from how people in the United States
show their patriotism? |
| |
Talk with your youngster about your favorite patriot
and why you feel he or she benefited our country. Find out who his
or her favorite patriot is. |
"Patriotism has its roots deep in the instincts and the
affections. Love of country is the expansion of dutiful love."
—D. D. Field
Sincerely,
Madison Central Faculty
