While there won't be school the actual holiday, in the days leading up to Memorial Day it's important to take time to remember and recognize the men and women who have sacrificed their lives in service to our country. No student is too young or too old to discuss themes such as courage, honor, service, etc.
The perfect addition to your Memorial Day plans, we created several different printable activities to help introduce students to new vocabulary/themes as well as practice word recognition and printing skills.
Simple word cards. Use these as part of your word wall or place them around the room as part of a 'write the room' activity.
Traceable word cards. Use these for printing practice. Cut the word cards apart, laminate them, and set them out in the writing center with dry erase markers.
Write the room activity sheet. A simple recording sheet to use with a 'write the room' activity.
