What is the Veterans Day History Timeline Banner?
⌄
Six landscape strips that join into one long timeline: 1918 to 1919 (the World War I armistice and the first Armistice Day), 1938 (a national holiday), 1954 (renamed Veterans Day), 1971 (moved to a Monday in October), 1978 (back to November 11) and today.
Can I use the Veterans Day History Timeline Banner at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 2nd Grade to 5th 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 to 5th Grade Veterans Day resources are there?
⌄
6 printable resources, all free to preview. 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 to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 7-11. 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 to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
