Canada Day, July 1 – Montessori Activity Ideas

On July 1, Canada celebrates a national holiday marking the country’s independence. Canada Day commemorates the adoption of the British North America Act on July 1, 1867, which was renamed the Constitution Act in 1982, and sets the foundation for the Canadian Constitution. This act created the Canadian federal government and united Canada as country (with four provinces.) Canadians celebrate Canada Day for similar reasons and in many of the same ways that US Independence Day is celebrated.

Canada Day is July 1st: A Perfect Time for Culture Studies in the Montessori Classroom!

Here are some previous NAMC blogs to give you some ideas for celebrating with your Montessori children and students:

• Montessori Curriculum Ideas for Canada Day
• Exploring North American Independence in the Montessori Classroom

As much as possible, NAMC’s web blog reflects the Montessori curriculum as provided in its teacher training programs. We realize and respect that Montessori schools are unique and may vary their schedules and offerings in accordance with the needs of their individual communities. We hope that our readers will find our articles useful and inspiring as a contribution to the global Montessori community.
