It marks a moment in 1777 when a new country, still in the middle of a war, decided it needed a shared symbol. This mini-unit follows that symbol across time: from the Continental Congress's brief, vague resolution to the brewery floor in Baltimore where Mary Pickersgill and her team stitched a flag so large it could be seen from miles away. Along the way, families will meet the makers, examine the history, and ask the kinds of questions that good thinkers ask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is not a unit about waving a flag.

The documented story of Mary Pickersgill, her daughter, her nieces, and apprentice Grace Wisher, who sewed the garrison flag that inspired the national anthem. The difference between verified history and family oral tradition, using the Betsy Ross story as a thoughtful case study. How and why the flag has changed 27 times. The decades-long work of Bernard Cigrand to establish Flag Day as a national observance. The hands-on connection between craft, symbol, and civic life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it works: \u003c\/strong\u003eAll ages learn together.
