Let's talk about Veterans Day with an Army veteran in this fun, fast-paced, and fact-filled hour! 

Using Nearpod, we'll play a series of interactive, highly engaging games to learn about the history of Veterans Day. THEN, we'll keep the games going as we discover fun facts about each of the six different branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, including: 

*Which branch is the biggest
*How to tell the difference between their insignia
*Which branch is the oldest
*How the branches work together
*Which branch costs the most to operate! 
*And much more!!!!

Throughout the hour, I'll share fun tidbits, and interesting insights, about my own service in the U.S. Army! 

Join me for this awesome hour to celebrate and honor Veterans Day!!!

Students will be introduced to the six branches of the U.S. miltary, and a short story about the origins of Veterans Day.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Kaplan University
Bachelor's Degree from Kaplan University
I'm an honorably discharged veteran of the U.S. Army Military Police Corps where I served as a Corrections Specialist. My husband was a Combat Engineer in the U.S. Army and served a tour in Iraq and a year in South Korea. We have nieces, cousins, brothers, and fathers who all served in the military, as well. 

After the Army, I earned both bachelors and masters degrees in legal studies, worked several years as a paralegal, and then as a professional ghostwriter researching and writing books for attorneys, victims rights advocates, former FBI agents, and more. 

Now, I'm a homeschool mother of two and I LOVE showing kids unique stories and perspectives about the US government, history, politics, current events, and more!
