Happy Veteran’s Day!

By | | , ,

Colorful handmade card with a red paper heart and message: "Thank you Veterans! There's no love like to you."

Today is Veteran’s Day.  A day to remember our history and the people who fought for our freedom and safety.

Children's artwork featuring a thank you message to U.S. veterans with a flag, flowers, stars, jets, and a Happy Veteran's Day greeting.

Every year my students create Veteran’s Day posters that are displayed at the Senior Center for their Veteran’s Day ceremony.  My fifth/sixth grade students go on a trip to the program and sing a few patriotic songs and participate in the ceremony.

Handmade sign with an American flag says "Thank You Veterans" above green paper grass on a light blue background, perfect for celebrating Veteran's Day.

You can see some of the artwork made in year’s past and read more about this lesson in previous blog posts.
