We had a very inspiring Patriot Day! Both 5th and 6th grade classes discussed the events of September 11, 2001. Fifth grade students then wrote poems entitled, "I am a Patriot." The poems are on display in a hallway right now, so, parents, please be sure to stop by and check them out!
The sixth grade classes wrote letters to soldiers currently serving in Iraq. The students thanked the men and women for being patriots and serving our country. Some students also made cards or posters. I was so touched by some of the letters I read that I was in tears in my classroom! The letters will be bundled and mailed next week. We are also trying to get some information into the newspaper about our letter writing project. Be sure to watch for that.
