4Real Forums: America and 4th of July?

Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Just wondering what you are doing to share the birth of America in your home?

We usually revisit parts of the flag/patritotic unit I did a couple years ago.

Cay has a list of 4th of July books at House of Literature.

Independence Day Reading has lots of suggestions and a link to Elizabeth's blog sidebar basket on the topic.

This year we are going to my parents over the 4th. Haven't done that in about 15 years. Looking forward to an old fashioned celebration in a small rural town - parade, rodeo, firecrackers!

These are great!! Thanks for sharing! We are having friends come over to watch fireworks and to play a few games outside. I love the flag units and lapbook ideas... we are in the process of moving so not much "work" going on here, but we may squeeze a few activities into our day!

We are leaving in a few minutes for Ft. Campbell KY(a 12 hour drive). We love to spend the 4th on a Military installation....nothing better! There will be a carnival on post, a band, parachuters, and of course fireworks. The best part? Getting to hang out with my grandson Gavin for a few days!!!
