A great starting point for teaching about Veteran’s Day is to teach
about the different branches of the military. My students are always fascinated
to learn about the different branches. They love to learn about the role of
each branch and what their main duties entail. (FYI, this allows them to ask great questions when he have Veterans visit!) There seem to be very few resources
that accomplish this. Since our resources are limited, we always make fact
cards that we keep in our interactive notebooks. The cards have the basic facts
that my students need to know about each branch.
To incorporate
Veteran’s Day into our Reading and Language Arts, we read short passages about each
branch of the military. Each passage is followed by several comprehension
questions.
All of these fact
cards and a reading passage about the Air Force can be found in my Branches of
the Military FREEBIE. Feel free to download and enjoy!!!
All of the reading
passages and the rest of the COMPLETE Branches of the Military Unit can be
found below.
