Monday April 16th Lithuania celebrates it's Independence. Take a moment with your children to remember their forefathers that gave their lives valiantly to gain freedom for Lithuania. Some suggestions: display the Lithuanian Flag and discuss what the colors stand for. Red on the bottom is the blood shed by the people to gain freedom. Green is for the land that is cherished, and yellow for the sum and the hope of the people.

If you don't have a Lithuania flag, google it and print one off. While there you may want to also google information on some of the great people in Lithuanian history. many of your children were named after these heros!
