In this sixth month of the year, we celebrate a lot! There is health (Global Running Day, June 4; National Hydration Day, June 23), communication (National Pen Pal Day, June 1; National Social Media Day, June 30), the environment (World Environment Day, June 5; World Oceans Day, June 8; World Rainforest Day, June 22), and some of the most important people in our lives (National Best Friends Day, June 8; Children's Day, June 8; Father's Day, June 15). But for kids (and teachers), maybe the most important thing that happens in June occurs on June 21. That is the official first day of summer, and it marks the time where we can all get outside and enjoy warm weather and nature.
