This Activity is inspired by Laura Numeroff's adorable "If you Give.." books

  the right direction before they begin the main activitiy: "How to be a

Free Veterans Day Printables!

Are you looking for something Quick, Easy, just Print and Go, AND FREE to acknowledge Veterans Day with your students?  I did this with my kids and it helped them learn what "the big deal" is about Veterans Day.  You would be shocked at how so many (adults included) do not know the meaning behind Veterans Day!

I found this Freebie Veterans Day Handout and Printable.  We completed the activity and then shared our responses.  It worked in Middle School perfectly, so I am sure it would work for Elementary, as well...simple and gets the point across.
