This short week was jammed packed with fun and learning for the 5th grade here at Highland Elementary!! After returning from our break we have been writing Veteran's Day letters. Each student at Highland is working on a friendly letter that will be sent to veterans in the VA hospitals in Louisville and Lexington. The purpose of these letters is to thank these brave men and women for their service in the military. My students have been working extremely hard trying to put down in words how thankful they are for what these service men and women do for our country. Honestly, some of the letters are written with so much love and thanks that it brought tears to my eyes. I hope by sending these letters we can make many veterans feel loved and appreciated as we prepare to celebrate Veteran's Day. Highland will have a Veteran's Day program Thursday, November 11th during morning procedures.
Also, this week we went on another field trip to the Louisville Science Museum. It was amazing!! The kids had so much fun they didn't even realize they were learning many difficult science concepts. Hats off to Mr. Lindsey for planning such a fantastic trip!!
Next week in Social Studies we will begin our unit on Native Americans!
