November brings even more holidays to explore for homeschooling families.
October and November offer homeschoolers so many opportunities to explore holidays and celebrations from all over the world. In our last article, we discussed October holidays. Now, we move on to November. Again, this is not a complete list, I am sure. Please contact me if you have more interesting holidays, both well known and little known.
November
- November 2 - All Soul's Day. This is a day traditionally recognized by the Roman Catholic Church, but is one of interest to people from all walks of life. This day of commemorating the dead can be special for any family, and of interest for its many traditions. Visit this link for more background and customs connected to the Day of the Dead, as it often observed among Hispanic cultures.
- November 5 - Read up on the British tradition of Guy Fawke's Day.
- November 11 - This is a day observed in many countries honoring all those who have died while serving in war. Known as Rememberance Day or Veteran's Day, honor the memory of all who have served for your country today.
- November 23 - American Thanksgiving Day. Visit Family Fun for ideas on how to celebrate, or go to Kid's Domain for crafts and game ideas.
Holidays and celebrations are often good for yummy food, family and friends, and special traditions. Learning more about these special days will make them all the more interesting!
Have fun!
