Today’s Celebrate America 250 idea is to use the above book every day. That’s because it has daily readings related to America. I found this at the Provo Deseret Industries thrift store for only $2 last fall. I am thoroughly enjoying it! It has one page for every day of the year. First there’s a paragraph explaining a major event that happened that day, then it has a list of other events that happened on that day in America. We use it for the beginning of our Morning Basket every day, as part of homeschooling, even in the summer. Go here if you want to learn more about Morning Basket time. This book is suitable for ages 12 and up, so I wouldn’t use it for Morning Basket with little children.

You could also use it for dinnertime sharing/discussion.
