Veteran’s Day

I’ve decided that when I grow up, I wanna be just like Deanna Jump. LOVING all of her FUN {and darling} activities!! Have you had a chance to grab her Veteran’s Day unit? If you haven’t, you really should!

Veteran’s Day is a BIG deal at our school. The kids invite any family members or friends that have served or are serving in the military. The honored guests gather in the library for a reception and a tribute. Kids are chosen to read their essays and the whole event is broadcast for everyone to see. After the tribute, the veterans/soldiers parade through the school as everyone stands outside their classrooms waving flags while patriotic music blares over the speakers. SO touching and yes…it brings tears to my eyes :)

Anyway, we’re always looking for ways to make this day even MORE special and when I found Mrs. Jump’s Veteran’s Day Unit, I about fell out. Just PERFECT!! We’re saving a few activities for Thursday, but we’ve already…

brainstormed Veteran’s Day words after reading a book about this special day…

…and we completed writing prompts that came with the unit to display as well. LOVE.IT.ALL!!!!

There’s still more, but I wanted to share this with you so that you can grab your copy before Thursday!! Such a wonderful way to celebrate something SO important!!
