A1 I don't know how many made the ultimate sacrifice, but on Memorial Day I always remember these Amer-Asian Vietnamese kids. #sstlap

CHitch94 Jun 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1) My grandfather was in the Army during WWII but didn't serve overseas. My uncle was a Navy medic in Vietnam. #sstlap

jmadlin001 Jun 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1 Honoring my gg grandfather Michael Garno who served in the 142nd NYS Volunteers during the Civil War.#sstlap

teachermike72 Jun 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: I don't think it has become especially commercialized, but I think more people treat it as just another day off. #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Jun 1 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: Cdns focus on Remembrance Day in Nov. Less commercialization than in US; usually teaching WWII then, so natural tie in for me #sstlap

teachermike72 Jun 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: I compare how we observe the holiday with the observance of remembrance Day in UK #sstlap

CHitch94 Jun 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2) I always asked my Ss to think about why they had the day off from school & encouraged them to think of ways they could honor. #sstlap

coachjohnson51 Jun 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 it so has lost meaning. Spend the day teaching it. Show the origins Old parade footage. bring in veterans to share the meaning #sstlap

teachermike72 Jun 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: and then ask students why we don't have the same tradition/what we can do for families of the fallen short and long term. #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Jun 1 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: I think the visual symbols of the poppies that many Cdns wear in November helps keeps the purpose of our day intentional #sstlap

jmadlin001 Jun 1 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 Many ppl see it as bbq day. It's good to remind Ss how it began.#sstlap

teachermike72 Jun 1 @ 9:19 PM EDT

I hadn't thought of having a guest speaker for Mem Day, but Vet's Day would work if we can find someone. #sstlap

In reply to @coachjohnson51

N_Davidson18 Jun 1 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Are there typically school assemblies for Memorial Day? Speakers brought in? #sstlap

CHitch94 Jun 1 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2) In WWI lesson that some Ss are getting to now, ask Ss to think about how military dead are remembered. https://t.co/xGNLrjGefG #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Jun 1 @ 9:20 PM EDT

We typically have a veteran or active soldier come in to speak with our whole school; very powerful and very moving #sstlap

In reply to @teachermike72, @coachjohnson51

Not in my experience. Of course, have taught in states where Ss are out before Memorial Day. #sstlap

Ah...I think most schools in Canada do some kind of assembly/service in honour of Remembrance Day. Huge outcry if nothing happened. #sstlap

I think we do more assemblies for Veterans Day. #sstlap

In my first job, a SS T usually organized assembly on Veterans' Day (Remembrance Day). However, think it got phased out, sadly. #sstlap

We are in the middle of Regents review, so no assemblies. #sstlap

A3: 2 weeks ago; simulated Energy Board hearing on pipeline approvals; great debate from all Ss; even the quiet ones got passionate! #sstlap

classroomtools Jun 1 @ 9:22 PM EDT

I prefer to think of Veteran's Day by its original name in the US, Armistice Day. I always preferred to focus on peace not war. #sstlap

A3: enjoy yes the Socratic seminars we did and start and end of year, and the speakeasy simulation we did for 1920s. #sstlap
