Everyday can be a celebration. Did you know that November 3rd is national sandwich day, December 7th is national letter writing day and January 7th is national bobblehead day?

Spark your thinking!

1. Set up your language arts mini spark recording page: #38: Celebration Days
2. Look over this teaching page. On your recording sheet, write about each of the highlighted days,  its history, and how it is celebrated.
3. What day do you feel deserves to add to the list of national celebrations? Pickle day? It’s observed on November 15. How about National fuzzy sock day? It’s a day people celebrate on December 21st! What would be a day that you would LOVE to celebrate? Start brainstorming. Create a list of 10 days that you would enjoy having as special days on the calendar.
4. Choose your very favorite day from the list you created. Create a colorful information page about your day. Include this information:

The name of your day

3-5 facts about your topic

How can people celebrate this day?

Do research to find out if your day is already celebrated. If so, add that date to your project.

5. Read about the process of how to formally submit your national day idea for review. 
6. Share your project with your teacher or the EY coordinator in your building.
