Celebrate Independence Day ~ Learning

Celebrating Independence Day with some learning is never the wrong pathway in my Independence Day adventures.  Reading some fabulous books that discuss the events that led up to why we celebrate Independence Day and the events that followed are perfect opportunities to read, learn, and write. Let your kiddos’ age and interest dictate what learning takes place.

Some of my favorite titles for younger kiddos

are listed below.
