Today is a day to pause and remember our fallen heroes. One way to honor them as a family is to gather our kids around and let them know why this day is such an important American tradition. What family members or friends have been lost defending our country? You’re invited to click here for a few links to use as teaching tools. Keep in mind, of course, that the suggestions may have to be modified or cut out this year due to social distancing, but there’s some great activity, including a scavenger hunt and crafts. Your family activity can be as simple as a moment of silence this evening!
Happy Memorial Day. I hope your summer is off to a wonderful and safe start!
