KNOW-VEMBER: FUN NOVEMBER FACTS – “All Souls’ Day”

365 DAYS OF LITERACY FOR KIDS!

Each day in 2011, I’ve shared a little poem, a wonderful word or two, the history of a flower, bug, toy or bird… and most recently, fun idioms in September and awesome obsolete words in October.

These little LITERACY TIDBITS are fun, easy and completely do-able and talk-able with kids.

I should know.  I share them with my own grandkids!

During the month of November, I will be sharing KNOW-VEMBER: FUN NOVEMBER FACTS from all around the world.

Take a few moments from each November day and share the KNOW-VEMBER fun, knowledge, discovery and smiles with your kids and grandkids.

Day 306 of 365 Days of Literacy for Kids:

November 2nd is All Souls’ Day, a solemn feast in the Roman Catholic Church commemorating all those who have died and now are in Purgatory atoning for their earthly sins before entering Heaven.     

On All Souls’ Night, it was once widely believed that the dead revisit their homes, so candles were lit to guide them and meals and refreshments were left to nourish them on their journeys.

On All Souls’ Day and All Souls’ Night, the faithful remember the dead through prayer.

Whatever your faith or beliefs, take a moment today with your kids and grandkids and offer a prayer or message of love to a deceased loved one, or visit a cemetery where a message or prayer may be offered to all.

Join me here each day in November for KNOW-VEMBER: NOVEMBER FUN FACTS – on 365 DAYS OF LITERACY FOR KIDS! – fun, easy and completely do-able!
