NOTES

Inch by inch, bit by bit, Betsy Ross clips, dips, and stitches the first American flag, which was based on a sketch Betsy's friend George Washington gave her in 1776. The flag had thirteen stripes and thirteen stars, which Betsy showed George how to make with a single clip of her scissors. Included activity shows children how to make their own Betsy Ross star
