July 4th Symbols
I love to spend the week leading up to July 4th teaching my kids about our great country, and there is so much intriguing history behind our American symbols. Check out our page on July 4th Symbols to learn more about the history and meaning of familiar American symbols.
I also put together a History of July 4th that is meant for reading aloud — a great way to use the time as you sit and wait for fireworks!

What a great idea to explain the symbols of July 4th! We do take them for granted, don’t we and forget their history.
That’s a great idea! I know that I don’t know all the history of that myself! Thanks for linking up to the “Making Your Home Sing Monday” linky party! :)
