Happy Veteran's Day!

Happy Veterans Day!  To prepare for this special holiday we spent yesterday learning about who a Veteran is and what they do.  We were so happy to have Mrs. Johnston with us for the entire day who is an Air Force Veteran.  The crew loved asking her questions!  We learned about the different branches in the military.  We brainstormed character traits of a Veteran and wrote letters to soldiers.  The crew had fun marching, learning to salute, singing a poem about how soldiers are brave, and even learning a marching cadence about place value. We read the book by Eve Bunting called, “The Wall.”  It was a day of realizing what Veterans have done for us and how thankful we are to them for protecting us.
