Dive into American history on two October anniversaries
This month, mark the anniversaries of two famous American symbols by helping your child learn more about them. On October 19, read the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner" together. The music and lyrics of the song, now the national anthem, were first performed together publicly on that day in 1814. On October 28, celebrate the Statue of Liberty's birthday (it was dedicated in 1886) by helping your child find out more about your family's origins.
