Description
Students learn about the Declaration of Independence and why it is important, focusing on ideas like independence, equal rights, and freedom, as well as why July 4 is celebrated as the country’s birthday. Through discussion and images, they explore how people in the past wanted fairness and the ability to make their own choices, and then celebrate the 250th anniversary by creating a birthday card for the United States, using drawings of symbols like the flag or fireworks and writing a simple message to show their understanding.
