Here are our representations of what we see in the fall colors.

Our Own Veteran - Mr. Domingo


Mr. Domingo
We asked Mr. Domingo to bring in his Marines memorabilia to share with us. We all got to look at his pieces and pictures and ask him questions.

He served in Vietnam and was stationed in Hawaii prior to this tour of duty.

Mr. Domingo printed off a picture of a Marine Uniform. He also showed us his belt buckle.

Mr. Domingo's younger self is right in the center of this picture - look for the faint circle.

His batallion was the first to arrive in Vietnam, so President Johnson gave the troops a ribbon/medal to decorate their uniform for their bravery.

Mr. Domingo showed us his dog tags, ribbons and awards.

Theme Unit

We have been working on the concept of theme in books. Here is the anchor chart we constructed together to learn about these concepts. Ask your child what these themes mean.
 
We used these picture books to examine the themes: acceptance, perserverance, compassion, courage, kindness, cooperation, responsibility, honesty, and friendship.
Ask which theme these books demonstrated?
