Veterans Day

Be sure you attend the Veterans Day program if you're available. Our class put together a video called "Veterans Day in Three Words." We read books and watched a short video about Veterans Day. Then the kids brainstormed words related to veterans and Veterans Day. Once they had a list of words, they worked in groups to combine the words into three word phrases (based on the Good Morning American segment). Next the students planned a way to reveal their words, and we videotaped. Finally we used Windows Movie Maker to put the video clips together and set them to music. I am so proud of the ideas the kids came up with. They showed a lot of respect and citizenship when choosing their phrases!
