July always brings out our patriotic books. Pretty simple, but considering my two little boys are throwing scrunched up paper "bombs" at each other while one says, "I'm fighting for England, you are fighting for America. We want to be free." I'm thinking they are at least beginning to understand history in their own little way...Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15619765384788233274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22760611.post-43808083823610802872013-07-02T16:37:36.725-06:002013-07-02T16:37:36.725-06:00One summer in Charlottesville, Virginia on the 4th...One summer in Charlottesville, Virginia on the 4th of July I was lucky enough to attend a Naturalization Ceremony that President Bush presided at on the lawn at Monticello. That was truly so meaningful and made me feel so grateful to be an American. I had previously attended a naturalization ceremony in Salt Lake City presided over by Judge David Sam and it was amazing as well. They are generally open to the public. Ever since I have thought that attending a Naturalization Ceremony would be a wonderful, patriotic tradition for my family.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245662303840543160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22760611.post-64755700010261506892013-07-02T05:57:50.444-06:002013-07-02T05:57:50.444-06:00I just found your blog through Memmories on Clover...I just found your blog through Memmories on Clover Lane.

Such goodness.<br /><br />And thank you for the link to KUER! I found a podcast about astronomy I plan to listen to in the morning.

Thanks for sharing with my family!
Re: 4t...Saren,<br />Thanks for sharing with my family! <br /><br />Re: 4th of July - my family LOVES Brite Music, Take your Hat Off. It is available here http://www.britemusic.com/take-your-hat-off-book-and-cd. It is so good for young kids! They will be singing cute songs of the Preamble, praising George Washington, and explaining big words like "insure domestic tranquility" quickly! I pull it out mid June every year. We love this music almost as much as we love Alexander's Amazing Adventures! :) Order one quick so you can listen for the month of July.<br />For older kids, Hillsdale College has some great online classes on the Constitution (Free) https://online.hillsdale.edu/Märta Harrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155626825655721616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22760611.post-24598355912445627232013-07-01T15:54:05.254-06:002013-07-01T15:54:05.254-06:00I came across this idea a couple weeks ago, and lo...I came across this idea a couple weeks ago, and love the format:<br /><br />http://www.prageruniversity.com/History/The-4th-of-July-Declaration.html<br /><br />Rob and Emily Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586645978601534189noreply@blogger.com
