Thank you for serving our country. Thank you for the peace and freedom. Thank you for fighting in wars. Thank you for keeping other countries safe. Thank you for fighting in wars.
We are making clay poppies. We are singing, ‘’Just one Candle ,” at the Remembrance DayAssemby. I learned John Mc Crae wrote a poem called in Flanders Fields after his friend died in war. We learned about the Unknown Soilder is located in Ottawa. The Peace Tower found in Ottawa has fifty-three bells on it. The bells are rung on Remembrance Day. The Peace Tower has beautiful stained glass windows.
We listened to the song called, “Pittance of Time,” about a girl with her father remembering the soldiers. It is very sad that many did not come home from the war. Many nurses cared for the wounded soldiers during World War 1. Thank you for serving our country.
Yours Truly,
Jeffery
Great job, Jeffery! You showed that you understand the importance of Remembrance Day. Keep working on stating the facts, rather than just saying you learned this. Also, keep working on adding detail and adjectives to your writing to make them more interesting. It’s great that you remembered that the Peace Tower has stained glass windows. I like that you showed that you cared about the soldiers that died. This shows the reader you have empathy for others. Nice job with your poppy! Keep working hard! 🙂
