Remembering Our Veterans

On Friday we took time to discuss Veterans Day and the importance of remembering those who have served our country. We first watched a short video explaining what Veterans Day is and how it is celebrated. We then discussed how our country would be a completely different place without the sacrifice of our Armed Forces. After this discussion, students brainstormed adjectives to describe a Veteran. Students shared traits such as brave, confident, heroic, helpful, strong, and fearless.

Students used this knowledge to write letters to Veterans thanking them for their service. Students who have a Veteran in their life took them home to give to them, while the other letters will be mailed to a Veteran organization.

Students were happy to have the opportunity to thank those who have done so much for our country.
