Memorial Day is a special time for families to come together and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives while serving in the U.S. military. Observed on the last Monday of May, this holiday began after the Civil War and was originally called Decoration Day, a time to honor fallen soldiers by decorating their graves.
Today, it’s a meaningful opportunity for homeschool families to teach their children about sacrifice, patriotism, and the importance of remembering those who came before us. It’s also a great time to include activities like crafts, reading stories of heroes, or visiting a local memorial as part of your homeschool learning.
