I love the opportunity to make every single holiday something special in my classroom! Sometimes I feel like in the "real world" we just let some days slip by without recognizing them or celebrating them in any way.
Even though Veteran's Day was on a Sunday this year, we are making sure this week to spend some time learning about it and celebrating all those who have served our country.
A couple weeks ago (Halloween to be exact) we made posters for the veteran's that live in a local home. Our entire school made over 100 posters so that each veteran could have one on their door.
Every morning on the announcements this week our principal reads a short summary of each branch of the military and plays their song/anthem. It's special for the kids to learn a little bit about them and to realize that each branch is different and does different things.
Yesterday we read a short play that told us the history of Veterans' Day and why we celebrate it. We then made flags shaped as hearts and had a coloring page as a fast finisher.
THANK YOU to all those who have served our country and helped to protect our freedoms!!
