Increase vocabulary and build background knowledge about Patriot Day (September 11th) with a set of vocabulary word wall cards and writing worksheets.
Patriot Day Lessons for Early Grades
Each year, a solemn holiday is held on September 11th to remember the events that occurred in 2001. Since its introduction as a national holiday, many Social Studies curriculums across the country have added this national holiday to elementary school standards. With September 11th being such a difficult topic to teach, we have put together a few kid-friendly Patriot Day activities to help you teach this subject. We hope to shed a bit of light and bring understanding to young learners by helping you teach them a bit about the day of remembrance.
This set of vocabulary cards is designed to help students understand a bit about the events of September 11, 2001. Each of the sixteen vocabulary cards contains a large-print, easy-to-read word and an image to aid retention.
Through this activity, students will show increased vocabulary and understanding of why Patriot Day celebrations occur in the United States.
