Veteran's Day!

During our work in Social Studies this week, the students have had the opportunity to learn more about the national holiday of Veteran's Day.  We discussed the importance of our military and how soldiers help our country every day.  We also enjoyed the story, Saluting Grandpa (an explanation of the Honor Flights).  Students then brainstormed describing words for soldiers (e.g. protector, brave, strong, caring, amazing, nice, helpful).  Our school-wide morning assembly also allowed us the opportunity to see and hear about military artifacts.  Thank you again to the American Legion Veterans who came to share about this honoring day and a big thank you to our Veterans worldwide!
