In the United States, Independence Day, also known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. This was officially adopted on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly celebrated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, picnics, and various summer activities.
This summer marks the 232nd birthday of the United States of America and as the summer heat encroaches and a presidential election looms ahead, I reflect back on my childhood where outdoor picnics and sparklers brought so much joy. Why not try a little old fashioned fun at your Montessori Classroom Fourth of July celebration?
