This Week’s Historical Events & Holidays to Teach

general

28 Nov

Here are some of the historical events you may want to cover this coming week with your students:

    • November 28th:

                            Today is Samuel Clemen's birthday.  We know him better as Mark Twain.  He wrote two of my favorite books:

    TomsawyerHuckfinn 
    (Those are the unabridged copies we own; they make such great read alouds!)

    You can read Mark Twain's books online for free, or you can get his books for free on your Kindle or other e-reader.  Go here to view the Mark Twain books available on the Kindle. 

    • December 1st:

                            Hanukkah begins at sunset.  Even if you don't celebrate Hanukkah, this is a wonderful time to learn about the holiday with your children.  You could do a unit study on Hanukkah for the duration of the eight-day holiday. History.com is a good place to start.

                            This is also Rosa Parks' Day.  55 years ago, Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger.  Read more about what happened at Scholastic, where your students can read the history, do suggested learning activities, and read interviews with Rosa Parks.

    If you know of any historical events (from any country) that occurred between November 28th-December 4th, please share them in the Comments section.   Also, let us know if you find any good lesson plans or other resources for the above events and holidays.

    Tomorrow is Cyber Monday and the last day of our Black Friday to Cyber Monday Sales Series.  I'll highlight several sales that are exceptionally good for educators. Some sales are only good for a few hours, so visit FreelyEducate.com often throughout the day on Monday. 

    On Tuesday, we'll be back with our normal posts of high quality, 100% free educational finds. 

    Happy Holidays!

    Freely Educate is written for those, like our family, who don't want the box. There are many places for "box-thinkers" to go. This place is for those who think outside the box. I hope to give you affirmation and advice on bravely choosing to educate creatively and individually. - Lori Seaborg
