Tomorrow is July 4 if you've been following the challenges. Most of us know why we celebrate Independence Day--do we? How about why our flag is red, white and blue? Or what's in the phrase-"Whistling Dixie?" Why do we shoot off fireworks? So many unique historical events surround this holiday.
Today's Challenge: Plan your July 4 holiday to include a historical quest-understand why fireworks are part of the holiday? Is there a local event that captures some of the tradition for you to experience. Historical recreations are a great way to create teachable moments for kids.
Don't just grill your burgers and dogs-make history by understanding it better.
Challenge Issued!
