Independence Day Celebrations
July is an important month for some Latin American countries like Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia and Peru, which celebrate their Independence Day during this month.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the recent devastating events in Venezuela. We hope that those affected find strength, support and a path to recovery during this difficult time. ❤️
And of course, we can’t forget our friends in the USA and their famous Fourth of July celebrations. This year marks the 250th anniversary of American independence! 🎇
For this reason, we’re dedicating this week to this relevant topic, a bit of history and what the very proud citizens do during these national celebrations.
Learn about the history behing Argentina’s independence from Spain with our bilingual reading and listening activity, followed by a nice fill-in-the-blanks activity about a Venezuelan who celebrates Independence Day with pride.
