Today, I wanted to share with you my favorite go to resources for celebrating and learning about Memorial Day in the classroom.

Memorial Day Fact and Opinion from Jessica Tobin – I love this quick pack for practicing fact and opinion because it includes sorting for whole group, small group, and individual practice as well as a fun board game for even more practice.

Raise the Flag Review Game from Pink Cat Studio – At the end of the year I feel like we are constantly reviewing and testing everything, so I love that this game can be used for any topic and it fits the Memorial Day theme.
