Awesome America

I love America. This is the best place in the whole world!

I should have done a patriotic theme for FHE this past Monday. (see the internet safety blog for FHE explanation) But, I am a little behind in the planning, so it will have to be done on the coming Monday. :)

Here are several sites that might be of value to you if you want to do a lesson with your family or just find some fun and educational patriotic things for your kids to do today.

www.congressforkids.net/independence -- "Uncle Sam" takes you on a tour, quizzes available, need to be able to read to do it.
