Make some time to teach about Veterans' Day. Read about the reasons why we celebrate this day on November 11. In the United States, Veterans' Day is November 11. This day is the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, which ended World War I. We thank all the soldiers who fought in the wars on Veterans Day. Many, many soldiers lost their lives fighting for our freedom. These writing prompts and pages were created for beginning readers and writers to
sit up and take notice to the many veterans and soldiers in the United States. Recognizing other people's dedication and work to make our lives better in the USA is an important social studies lesson. Students will think and write about bravery, courage and freedom. They can talk about real heroes and ways that we can honor their unselfish acts of goodness to mankind. There is also a page to write a thank you letter to a veteran.
