Five Facts You Know

Worksheet Description
This educational worksheet is designed to engage students in reflecting on the meaning and significance of Memorial Day. The sheet features five blank boxes prompting learners to write down five things they know about Memorial Day, encouraging them to recall and record their knowledge and associations with this federal holiday. The central image of a gravestone adorned with American flags serves as a visual reminder of the day’s purpose—to honor and remember the men and women who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
The layout of this worksheet is conducive to both individual reflection and group discussion, making it versatile for classroom settings or at-home learning. It is an opportunity for students to express what they have learned about the history, traditions, and continued importance of Memorial Day. As they fill in the boxes, students practice not only recall and writing skills but also contribute to a broader conversation about national history, sacrifice, and collective memory.
