Veterans Day

My town has a Veterans Day parade or ceremony every year.  Some of the local schools will walk to the parade.  If you don't have this opportunity in your town allow your class to do something special to celebrate.  Encourage your students to invite a veteran family member to come and speak to the class and hang up pictures from the past of veteran family members. Maybe the entire school could participate by having a parade or assembly at the school.  Children need to understand the value of patriotism.
