Simple, spectacular ideas to boost your lessons.

• Veterans Day books for kindergartners can be hard to find! These age-appropriate books celebrate military parents by comparing them to superheroes.
• Read either book—or both!—for a kid-friendly way to explain what it means to serve in the armed forces.

• Work together to find and circle every word that begins with an h.
• For an extra challenge, count how many begin with capital letters and how many begin with lowercase letters.

Skill: reading, writing, number order

Materials: Veterans Day Mini Book skill sheets, scissors, crayons, stapler

• Pass out copies of the skill sheet. Have children cut along the dotted lines.
• Next, have children put the pages in numerical order and staple them together to make a book. Children can write their name on the cover and color the pictures.
• Read the book aloud as kids follow along in their own copies. Send the mini book home for kids to share with their families.
