This lesson plan is for a Kindergarten Memorial Day lesson. It includes reading a big book about Memorial Day, defining related vocabulary words, discussing the history and meaning of Memorial Day, playing a digital story showing memorial day images and music, discussing a photograph from the Marine Corps War Memorial, and doing a craft activity making memorial wreaths to honor fallen soldiers. An optional activity is to hold a mini classroom parade with flags and singing. The goal is to help students understand the meaning of remembering and honoring soldiers who died serving the country.
