Every year, most Americans celebrate the 4th of July or Independence Day with family and friends and fireworks. How many actually realize what they are celebrating? I try and make it a point to let K know why we are celebrating every Independence Day. A refresher of sorts. This 4th, she is a bit older and better able to understand so we are doing more. Below are some of the things we plan on doing together as a family with links:
- Learning the history of Independence Day
- Reading the Declaration of Independence
- Reviewing Lapbook on the topic
- Worksheets on the symbols, flags, etc.
- Singing (learning for her) patriotic songs
- Celebrating - rejoicing in our freedom in the USA!
If anyone has anymore links, please share. I'm especially looking for a Christian-view of American history for a separate study this coming year.
