Teach Your Students/Children about Memorial Day!

For many kids today, the real meaning behind Memorial Day is lost. They know that they get a three day weekend, and they also know that school is about over when this holiday rolls around. However, Memorial Day is a lot more than just a day off from school and kids need to be taught about this day and the meaning behind it. Finding ways to teach kids about the significant of Memorial Day and how important it is to honor those who have protected the freedom of this country is important. The Reader’s Theater below is a great way to teach young ones all about Memorial Day in a Fun, clever manner!!  Check it out!!

It's FIELD TRIP Time!!

It’s FIELD TRIP time!  I LOVE field trips!  One of our favorites is a trip to a local grocery store.   This trip is an extension to our class study of the Five Senses.  We use this FABULOUS Reader’s Theater (seen below) called THE GROCERY STORE AND MY FIVE SENSES!  We use it to set our focus for the field trip.  I also use the GROCERY STORE/SUPER MARKET FIELD TRIP WORKBOOK (also seen below) while we are actually on the field trip to keep my students focused on learning while they are there.  Check out these great tools and let the JOY of learning begin!!
