A great resource for learning about Veterans. Simples, yet engaging!
This was an amazing project that my student's loved doing. They learned so much through first-hand encounters. I'll never forget a Grandmother who called to say that her grandson interviewed his Grandfather who was in the Vietnam War. In all her years with her husband, never had he opened up about the war to anyone - but he went on-and-on to his grandson. He even gave him an old Military jacket that the Grandmother said she had no idea he had kept it. She thanked me over and over again for doing this lesson. Thank you for creating such a powerful lesson to help our students learn about our Veterans!
A GREAT resource! So helpful, I'm glad I purchased- Thank you! :)
thank you!!
Aligns great with standards!
Thank You
Hi Erika! You're very welcome! Parents, students and administrators love my resource. Parents tell me my Veterans Day survey inspired them to educate their kids about family members who are serving or who have served in the military. Best of all, the survey includes input from any family member who might have lived during the time of conflict or war and their stories of sacrifice and missing their loved ones. I'm so glad you found my resource, so you can use it, year to year, with your students. Thank you for your comment and rating! :)
Needs to be updated with better graphics, though. Thanks.
Hi SusyinSA!! Thank you! Thank you! You must have read my mind!! I've had a TO DO list this summer and this packet is on that list. I'm currently working on other resources, so be assured that I will be modifying this one and will upload it as soon as I can. It's one of my most favorite projects I do with my students. When I upload the latest version, you'll get a note from me in the TpT inbox and I'll also post it in the product description. I really appreciate your comment and rating! Have a wonderful, new school year!
Nice resource!
Hi Bookworm Productions! Thank you! You're going to love this project. There are so many students today who don't know what Veteran's Day is all about which is why I created this packet of activities. :) Thank you so much for your comment and rating! :)
