Lucky Penny Day - May 23rd
Lucky Penny Day is celebrated to reinforce the theory that if you find a penny and pick it up, you will have good luck. Celebrate this fun day with your students by creating a penny craft, counting and sorting pennies, or using pennies to graph. Another fun idea is to give students the writing prompt, "Once I found a lucky penny and when I picked it up..."
Memorial Day - May 27th
Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May each year. This is a time to celebrate and honor the soldiers that sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Honor this day by providing students with a few activities, and teach students the value of honoring the memory of those who came before us with a Memorial Day lesson plan.
