Why teach your children about American Independence? Because their future may depend on them knowing and understanding our history.
Our founding fathers broke free from tyranny. We can honor their sacrifices, and the sacrifices of generations after them, by working to preserve that freedom that they won for us. Training up the next generation in the principles of freedom is an important aspect of preserving our freedom.
Here at IAHE, we are thankful for the independence that was won for our country in 1776, and the freedom we have to home educate our children today. Living in a free society is something we don’t want to take for granted. Here are some activities to enjoy with your family as you celebrate Independence Day this year.
