10/31/2014: Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! I hope that you enjoyed a spooky and spectacular holiday with your students!  As we enter into November, Veteran’s Day, November 11th, is now approaching in a little over a week away!

A Veterans Day Play is an original play written for use as readers’ theater, as a part of balanced literacy (Read-Aloud, Shared and Performance Reading or Guided Reading), or for an actual play production.

Written with 9 speaking parts, the play also features a band and choir of unlimited members. The band marches in a parade that the family (mother, father and two children) comes to see on Veteran’s Day and the choir sings the national anthem, as well as additional patriotic songs when the play is over. With an announcer, two parade assistants and three narrators, you are all set to put on this play that helps us all learn more about this important holiday of honoring our veterans.

My Teachers Pay Teachers Store also offers my Veteran's Day - First Grade Level E Reader
This first grade Level E reader is a excellent resource for teaching about Veteran's Day. Students will learn about why and when we celebrate Veteran's Day as they encounter new vocabulary and improve their reading comprehension. There is a two-page worksheet which accompanies the two-page story.
