Learning About Veterans Day

We learned all about Veterans Day, an important holiday in the United States.  On Veterans Day, we say "Thank You" to all of the men and women who have served or are currently serving in the military.  We found out that the military has five branches: the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines, and the Coast Guard.  1R students then picked the branch of their choice and wrote a piece telling about what they do and why it's important.  They made collages of themselves as members of the military to hold this writing!  Be sure to listen to your child read his/her work in his/her student blog!
