Hello Families,
In honor of Veterans Day, our school will be holding an assembly tomorrow morning. We will be lucky enough to have a veteran as a guest in our classroom after the assembly. To prepare for this event, our class watched a short two minute video about the history of Veterans Day. If you are interested in viewing it, click here.
After watching the video, I presented the students with five different activities, from which they could choose one to complete. The students could write a poem, design a float, discuss the meaning behind military seals, respond to the book The Wall, or write about how our flag has changed and why. I was impressed with how quickly the students got down to work. It was amazing to see the works being created before my very eyes!
Following this post are a few of the works from today. Enjoy!
