Fourth of July is coming up, so reading about our history is appropriate. Then your children can share what they have learned with the rest of the family.
Visit readingrockets.org, and you will find a list of recommended books for children up to 9 years old. Each book has information about real and legendary heroes and heroines.
On history.com, your older children can look at the “Day in History” and find a new story every day for what happened on that day in history. Online at constitutionfacts.com, have your children click on “Declaration of Independence” to find out more details about the signers and signing of the Declaration.
For red, white, and blue fun, have them visit our Dear Teacher website’s science learning activities and find patriotic activities. Here, they will learn about safe things they can do to celebrate the Fourth like experiencing “Fireworks in their Mouths” or creating fireworks in a glass.
