Veterans Day

     We wanted to teach our kindergartners about Veterans Day in an appropriate, thoughtful way. We found Veterans Day by Jacqueline S. Cotton at Scholastic.

     We also found this simple, thankful song on youtube, "Thank You Soldiers"

     Then, we painted on red and blue papers with a heart drawn in the middle with red, white, and blue paint.  When dry, we cut them out for display.

     We added a poem adapted from the one on first-grade-friends@blogspot.com.

     We also used this simple read and find practice sheet for sight words.  Feel free to copy and use this as well.

     Our Pledge of Allegiance lesson & close reading booklet would be a wonderful match for learning about Veterans Day.  The lesson is available at our Teachers Pay Teachers store either individually or included with 19 other lessons for informational text in our lesson book, 

An Entire Year of Kindergarten Activities based on Informational Text
