Even though I don’t teach during the summer when it would seem most likely to teach Montessori students about US Independence Day, every year it seems to find its way into our year. Students often associate US Independence Day with fireworks, picnics and popsicles. This association is helpful when you are teaching American History and need to reference Independence Day. I've had parents tell me that something that was said in the classroom about the holiday made its way into the conversation the following July at the family picnic.
North America has distinct summer Independence Day celebrations that are the perfect time to get students learning with interesting activities.
