This year for Veteran's Day my teammate told me about a neat remembrance project that she does in her classroom... and I wanted to add it to my classroom as well. Basically you take a long piece of white construction paper, and attach the red/blue strips. I labeled the strips in alphabetical order: Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy and gave out star stickers to my class to stick in the category of someone in their lives (grandparents, uncles, dads, friend's dad) that they know who have served our country. The kids that wanted to share out loud full class did so, but not everyone wanted to speak aloud - which is where the stars came in. Some kids only had one star, but some had multiple ones. In my own life I was able to stick stars onto Air Force (grandpa and uncle), Army (grandpa), and Marines (nephew). We also watched the Flocabulary video of Veterans Day with our school membership. That was pretty powerful. How do you celebrate Veterans Day?
