Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is coming up, and I realized that I didn't have any high-quality resources to use in my grade one class.  I decided to make my own packet of resources that would serve to provide a more comprehensive framework for teaching my grade one students about Remembrance Day.

To start off, I recognized that I wouldn't be able to sell any product using the poem, "In Flanders Fields."  I will definitely use "In Flanders Fields" in my teaching to my class, but I decided to additionally write my own poem about Remembrance Day that would be accessible to my students' level of comprehension about the war and what Remembrance Day is all about.

I wrote a short version of the poem as well, and I used that to create a pocket chart poem and some printing practice for the students.

In addition, there are some colouring pages and a booklet for the students to read and colour.

I'm hoping that these resources will help my students understand the meaning of Remembrance Day and help them to gain a respect for those who died in service to their country.
