1-2-3 Come Do Some Veteran's Day Activities With Me!

I think it's extremely important to do some sort of patriotic activity with students on Veteran's Day.  I realize that there is so much to cram into a day, and that time simply flies, but if you incorporate an activity with your writing or reading blocks it's do-able.  These activities also work well for Daily 5 or an independent center.

Whatever shape they land on, is the one they place on the card.  Click on the link to view/download the Veteran's Day Shape Games.
