I had to stop and make a quick post while the kids are in the Library. As we sat this morning in our first circle time we talked about Veterans Day and what it meant. I started by spelling Veteran and talking about the letters. Then I asked, "What is a veteran?" This is why I love pre-k. One child answered, they take care of your dog. I smiled and said, "no" does anyone else think that they might know what a Veteran is? The next child answered, "They take care of your cat." I again smiled and said, "not quite." It was then apparent that they would try every animal known to man until they got it right. Oh well, we eventually learned about Veterans as being those who chose to serve in a branch of the military(and we discussed each) and then we talked about how they were strong, brave and protected us. Isn't that just precious the innocence of a child. I guess a Vet is kinda like a Veteran. They are people who have chosen to serve, however they only protect the animals. May God bless all of the Veterans on this Veterans Day. Our class is thankful for you all!
