stART/Veterans Day

With today being Veterans Day we decided to do our stART project a day early and theme it around Veterans Day. We started out the morning watching the Memorial at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. We discussed what Veterans Day is all about and who all in our families have served in the military, fighting for our Freedom.

We sang the following songs:

America, the Beautiful          Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory          My Country Tis of Thee         The Star Spangled Banner

I am actually Dedicating this to ALL VETERANS!

Selena’s family members to be honored:

Zachary Taylor (lost his life in the Civil War)  James Taylor WWII, Harold Taylor WWII, Clarence Taylor WWII,                       

Loel Taylor WWII, Lester Ingold WWII, Bill Lance Korean War, Ken Taylor Vietnam War, Bill Taylor Vietnam War,

Rodger Flatt, Vietnam War, Jerry Flatt Vietnam War, Brent Huston, Vietnam War (To just mention a few, I am sure there were many more through the years who served our Country)

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR STONG MEN AND WOMEN WHO CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOM!!!

  1. I am impressed that you know your family history so far back. I can only go to the beginning of the 20th century on both sides. I am sure that you will raise Selena to honor her ancestors and other people fallen in wars.

  2. How wonderful that you are teaching Selena to love the men and women who keep us safe.

    They don't even teach the Pledge of Allegiance in schools anymore. =(

  3. This is wonderful. I love all that you did in this post with Selena. I wish I'd thought to do this in our homeschool today as well. Kind of sad I didn't. I really, really like this lesson.
