All of my students (6th-8th grade), wrote a letter to a Veteran by the name of Mr. Bernard Guiles. Mr. Guiles served on the USS New Jersey and was an electrician. My students were very curious about who he was and how he sacrificed his life to provide us the freedom we have now. Many of my students didn't know what Memorial Day was... It was nice last Thurs/Friday to educate them about it and provide them a real life service project to do!
Below are some letters that were made in class! He should be recieving these by the end of the week! :))
There were more cards... But, my phone died. :.( My kiddos did great at making him feel special!
I hope he likes them!!
