A Veterans Day Close Reading

Last Wednesday, we discussed Veterans Day. A lot of the children shared which of their family members have served our country. They were so proud to share about their moms, dads, grandpas and uncles. We watched a video on the history of Veterans Day and completed a Veterans Day Close reading. During this activity we read a passage several times so that we could learn new information and dig into the details of the text. Next, the students answered comprehension questions based on that same passage and highlighted the evidence within the passage. These skills will be very beneficial to our students during MAP testing. To all of those family members who have served in the armed forces and those who are actively serving, Thank You!
