My son and I are going to start celebrating every weekday. (Weekends get celebrated in our home just because they are weekends.)

It’s more fun to celebrate history than “study” it.  I hope it is as fun for your children as it is for mine!

Happy “Great Wall of China Day” Monday (Nov. 10)

On November 10, in 1970, the Great Wall of China opened for world tourism. So what you may ask? Look at the Web sites below to find the incredible answer!!
