Memorial Day Activities

Remembering To Be True To The Red White And Blue

Are you looking for an appropriate activity to plug into your lessons for the Friday before Memorial Day?

The My Flag booklet is perfect for your Daily 5 or a whole group reading/writing activity.

Students TRACE and then WRITE key words; learn important facts about the flag as they cut and glue matching pictures to the appropriate sentences.

Numbers that are associated with the flag are also reviewed and practiced.

There are 3 endings to the booklet, which allows you to make it appropriate for a variety of patriotic holidays including Memorial Day.

I’ve also included:

36 word-wall word flashcards, that you can use as such, or have students make into Itty Bitty booklets.
2 certificates of praise.
2 different graphing extensions
An achievement poster
A flag coloring page and
12 skill sheets
