FREE SOCIAL STUDIES LESSON - “Memorial Day {Freebie}”

by Evenings With Drake
Pre-Kindergarten - 1st Grade


If your students could say anything to a fallen member of the United States Military on Memorial Day, what would it be? This LOW-PREP free resource was created to give your kiddos an opportunity to write a loving, caring, and supportive Memorial Day sentiment to a (fictional) member of the United States Armed Forces who is no longer living.

How it works: After choosing a United States Armed Forces member (Air Force Airman, Army Private, Marine Corps Private, or Navy Seaman), students read through a list of heartfelt statements. One statement is selected and neatly written into the speech bubble provided. Students then draw a picture of themselves and color the picture using crayons or colored pencils.

What's Included?
*One (1) “From My Heart” List of 15 Heartfelt Sentiments
*Four (4) “From My Heart” Heartfelt Message printables
*One (1) Writing Template (blank)

Gentle Suggestions/Tips:
*Because this resource deals with fallen (deceased) members of the United States Military, you may want to have a brief discussion with your students about the significance and meaning of Memorial Day PRIOR to the completion of any pages within this product.
*Images of the military personnel may be colored using crayons and color pencils. SUGGESTION: have the students use MULTICULTURAL OR SKIN-TONED colored pencils and crayons!
*As an extension to this activity, you may wish to have your students write LETTERS to fallen members of the United States Armed Forces.

If you download the above, show some feedback love!! :)
