I know Veteran's Day was last week but I was sick so we didn't get our study on Veteran's Day finished until yesterday.  I had such a hard time finding a unit study for Veteran's Day that I ended up writing our own study and designing our lapbook myself. 

Here is the front of Sunshine's lapbook:

And here is what the inside looks like:

In the very top corner in the flap marked poppies we wrote about how poppies are the official VFW Memorial flower.

Under Did You Know?  You will find little known facts about The Old Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns.

The circle book marked Old Guard Procedures lays out the procedures The Old Guard follows when they guard The Tomb of the Unknowns.

The square flap at the very bottom left corner opens to tell how Veteran's Day is celebrated at the tomb.

In the very top middle you will find the envelope we made for our vocabulary words which were written down on flash cards.

Next is a book that tells how Veteran's Day is celebrated in other countries, and next to that is are three flaps marked P.O.W, M.I.A, and K.I.A.  when you left the flaps you find what each stands for.

At the very bottom of the middle section is a book that opens up to tell more about The Tomb of the Unknowns, the architect, the sculptor, how much it cost to build, and the marble that was used.

In the top right corner is a book where we wrote about Raymond Weeks, who fought to change Armistice Day to Veteran's Day.

The right middle book opens up to tell the history of Veteran's Day, and the right bottom flaps open up to tell the differences between Memorial Day and Veteran's Day.
