It's National Fourth Graders Day! From NationalToday.com: "National 4th Graders Day is celebrated on the second Monday in January, which this year is January 12. Fourth-grade students are taking on more challenges in math, reading, writing, social studies, science, as well as art, music, world language, and physical education. They work hard, yet still are guided by a wonderful imagination. They really shine when they are in charge of their own learning and usually shimmer brightest when they are able to use their creativity along with their newly-acquired skills. Let’s celebrate the magic of being 9 or 10 and show the world what fourth graders can do!"
If you have a fourth grader or a soon-to-be-fourth grader, you should definitely check out this program which is offering a free one-year pass to all our National Parks to your family: https://everykidoutdoors.gov/index.htm
