What educators are saying

My child is a reluctant writer, but LOVES holidays! I am so excited to incorporate this into our monthly writing in a fun and engaging way.
I really like celebrating different occasions with the students. The students have fun and are engaged as they are writing.

    THINGS TO NOTE:

    The included dates/holidays were chosen to be included based on elementary students in mind. Please be aware that not all unique holidays of the year are listed due to this reason. The best ones were picked to ensure appropriate nature and understanding.

    These dates do not change year to year, so you will find some years they fall on weekends, etc. where you may not be able to use that particular page that year. I included all of the ones that are appropriate for this age group and therefore you will have many to pick from each month, even if some fall on weekends.

    If you have any questions or comments about this product, please feel free to email me at AmandaThompsonsTeachings@gmail.com or send me a dm on Instagram @thompsonsteachings.
