Patriot Day {Sept. 11}, Prep, and Winners
Share This:
How do you address September 11th in your classroom? Each year, my school has a moment of silence. It brings up a lot of questions from my little ones. Some know what September 11th, now called Patriot Day, is all about… and others don’t. In the best way possible, I answer their questions. Then, we complete a little project to honor the brave men and women who were lost that day.
I updated my heart the flag {a crafitivity} file to include a couple writing pages for Patriot Day:
and
Both pages are also available with secondary lines.
The pack includes the heart flag craft, as well as a bonus patriotic streamer:
I usually make the streamer with my class for Sept. 11th and hang them on a clothes line across my windows. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on them from others 🙂 My mom-in-law is actually the one who gave me the idea for the streamer a few years ago… she teaches K!
In other news… I’m hoping to have my room “picture ready” by the end of Monday… tomorrow… so I can finally post my “big” classroom reveal! And so I can relax and work on a little pumpkin craftivity pack that I have brewing in my mind 😉
Here are some things that I’ve been preparing to finish off my room before the reveal:
{voice levels inspired by: Tricia Lyday; hand signals inspired by: Rachel Lamb; swirly cupcake tops from: Melissa Freshwater ; 4S line from: Valerie Noles}
As promised, I’m announcing winners today for my Five Days of Giveaways!
Thank you to all who donated, and to all who entered!
Congrats, ladies! I’ll be emailing you shortly 🙂
