Crestline 5th graders share their thoughts about veterans:
"Sing, America, Sing": (Their favorite part is the interlude, which gives them the opportunity to move to the risers.)
Veterans are heroes: (Students share their thoughts on what makes veterans heroes.)
"You Are Our Heroes":
Letters to veterans:
"Step in Time": (Includes all themes from the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard.)
For more information about how we incorporate students' writing in the program and also have them reflect on the performance, you can check out previous posts:
Due to the size of our auditorium and student body, we had 4 performances of the program. The final performance was for parents and veterans. We had 91 veterans attend our program this year. Our students enjoyed honoring the men and women who have served our country. One of their favorite moments was singing "Step in Time" with the veterans present, because the honorees stood and sang during their theme song.
I hope these clips spark your creativity and give you ideas for your next program honoring veterans!
