4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. Not because it celebrates our country’s independence (although that is a plus), but because of the fellowship it brings. Family and friends alike gather for great food, swimming, games – inside and out – fireworks and just all around FUN. But, who says we can’t combine some learning with all that fun? Here are some great homeschool printables, crafts and recipes to make the day…or week…even more enjoyable!
