Our new Social Studies Foundations series for Grades K–3 supports national standards for social studies and provides entry-level literacy development and critical thinking opportunities for every classroom. In our Kindergarten resource, Exploring My Place in the World, young readers are introduced to holidays and the different days and ways people celebrate.
As we end this eventful year of new resources and new experiences, we share here our Holiday Match Game. Thank you for a wonderful year, and we look forward to exploring civics, geography, economics, history, and culture with all of you in 2026!
We Can Celebrate
History can tell us why we celebrate important days. We can celebrate events. We can celebrate people. We can celebrate our community. Do you have a community day?
Celebrations
Celebrations show that events are important. They show that people are important to us. Everyone celebrates differently. A celebration can be a party. It can be a parade. Celebrations teach us about our world!
Holidays
A holiday is when people celebrate a person or event. Holidays can remind us of the past. Holidays usually happen at the same time every year. Sometimes there is no school or work on holidays. People celebrate holidays in their own way. What holidays do you celebrate?
