Color the other side in alternating red and white stripes. 3. Fold the square in half diagonally, each way, so that you have two diagonal folds which cross in the centre of the page. 4. Cut along the folds, but stop at least 3cm / 1,5 inches from the centre, as shown by the dotted lines in the diagram.The page should now look like 4 triangles joined at the centre. 5. Take one corner of each triangle and fold it over until the point is on the centre of the square. 6. Now prick the pin through all four points and through the centre of the page and stick it into the blunt end of a pencil. 7. Wave it in the air or blow on it, to get the sails to rotate. Loosen the pin slightly if necessary to allow the sails to turn more freely. United States of America Story Books

Traditional American FoodIn the southern United States, cornbread is often served in place of rolls or bread and is very typical of that region. Corn is indigenous to the American continent; Native Americans planted "the three sisters" - corn, beans, and squash - together because the three plants complement each other nutritionally and agriculturally.
Cornbread Recipe1 cup yellow corn meal 1 cup white flour 2 tablespoons sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder 3/4 teaspoons salt 1 cup milk 2 eggs 1/4 cup melted shortening or oil Combine all ingredients and blend into a smooth batter. Turn into a well-greased 8-inch pan. Bake at 425'F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Cut into squares and serve with butter. Do you have a preschool theme or activity to share?
