Next week, we make time to remember veterans and the sacrifice of those who fought in various wars. I’ve already started talking about this with my children. I’m seeing their amazement as they consider the cost of our freedoms.
If you are looking for some ways to bring that into lessons or activities with your family, here are some of the sites I’ve referenced with my kids:

Postcards for Peace. This is a pretty neat idea. Not sure if we’ll do it from here, but came across it and thought you might like it: https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/classroom/postcard-for-peace
Plus we read LOTS of good books. In Flander’s Field is a classic we’ve already read this week.
Hopefully this gives you some helpful resources to use as we head into this Remembrance season.
