May is here! From May Day on the first to the traditional kickoff of the summer beach season on Memorial Day weekend, this month always offers plenty to celebrate. 

Each May, we recognize the contributions of people of Asian American/Pacific Islander heritage, as well as Jewish American Heritage Month. May also includes Teacher Appreciation Week (starting on May 5 this year), celebrating educators for all the hard work they do helping turn today’s students into tomorrow’s outstanding citizens and leaders. And finally, May is Military Appreciation Month, recognizing the contributions of our armed services in keeping us safe and, on Memorial Day, remembering those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 

The resources below will help you and your students find some exciting ways to celebrate the May holidays!
