Each year in honor of Veterans Day, I read a few of my usual readalouds including The Wall by Eve Bunting, Pepper's Purple Heart by former Miss America Heather French Henry and Veterans Day by the Rookie Read-About Holidays Series.
More importantly, my kiddos do their parts to thank those who served in our Armed Forces by making Veterans Day cards. We mail them to a local Veterans Hospital, The Soldiers' Home. I was so happy to be able to continue this tradition of mine in my new school with my teaching partner and the kids we share. The words on the cards are so heart-felt and inspirational I wanted to share some. The Veterans in my family, my Uncle Lenny and my NoNo would have been proud of our first and second graders.
