Compare and Contrast: Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Veterans Day

Do your students know the difference between Veterans Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day? Ideal for fourth and fifth graders, this social studies worksheet will teach them about the similarities and differences of the holidays. First, they’ll read a passage that provides facts about each holiday, and then they’ll respond to a short writing prompt about why these holidays are often confused. Finally, they’ll complete a graphic organizer by recording information about each holiday from the passage.
