What is the What Is a Veteran? Poster?
⌄
One poster page that says a veteran is a person who served in the military, names the six branches (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard and Space Force) on colored labels, shows a large U.S. flag and reminds readers that Veterans Day is November 11.
Can I use the What Is a Veteran? Poster at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 2nd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many 2nd Grade Veterans Day resources are there?
⌄
7 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 44 Veterans Day resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Veterans Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Veterans Day resources for?
⌄
These are written for 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 7-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Veterans Day resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
