Worksheet Description

This Labor Day worksheet offers an educational activity that focuses on vocabulary skills by asking students to arrange words related to the holiday in alphabetical order. The words provided are a mix of terms directly associated with Labor Day—such as “labor,” “workers,” and “union”—and broader concepts like “prosperity” and “celebrate.” Additional words refer to historical aspects of the holiday, such as “Pullman” for the Pullman Strike and “federal” in reference to its status as a federal holiday.

The worksheet consists of eighteen lines where students can write the words in the correct sequence, enhancing their language arts skills while simultaneously familiarizing them with terms pertinent to Labor Day. The exercise is not only practical for learning alphabetical ordering but also serves as a springboard for discussions on the history and significance of Labor Day. Completing the activity provides a foundation for understanding the contributions of workers and the labor movement to American history and society. This worksheet is a simple yet effective tool for teachers to integrate into their Labor Day curriculum.
