Veteran's Day will be here on November 11. Veteran's Day used to be known as Armistice Day and was established to commemorate the end of World War I. The name was changed after the Second World War. In countries that are part of the British Commonwealth it is known as Remembrance Day.
The net has some great Veteran's Day lesson plans. You can also print off posters and worksheets. There are online games for early elementary an well as games for older students.
My personal favorite Veteran's Day activity is to have students make cards or packages for soldiers who are currently serving or for disabled or elderly veterans. You can locate veteran's facilities here.
