Below is a list of July National Days, both monthly and daily observances. Incorporate fun activities that are related to the day. We will link to our activities as we complete them.
There is no “official” list of monthly and daily observances and I am only listing ones that are kid and family oriented. I like to use these National Days to create fun opportunities to introduce new topics and fun activities. I use National Day Calendar and National Today to create my list. Check out their websites for more information on each day listed below and additional days.

Track Which Days You Want to Celebrate
I suggest marking which days you would like to celebrate so you do not forget. You can add them to your phone calendar for easy access and set up an alert so you never forget. We choose one day to celebrate each day and write it on a printed calendar before the month starts. We review today’s National Day each morning during our Circle Time or morning work. This is a great way to incorporate the calendar into your learning activities. You can print calendars for free at PrintFree.
Happy July!
