A Very Special Veterans Day Skype In The Classroom Event!

Last week, as we recognized veterans for Veterans Day, our 5th graders had a very special Skype in the Classroom experience too. 

We Skyped with David Estes...

...from the Livingston County War Museum in Pontiac, Illinois. 

David, who is a Vietnam Veteran, was so wonderful as he shared....

 ...photographs,

 facts,

 stories,

 ...and even the unique animals they saw while in Vietnam with Mrs. Prouty's 5th graders.

 After answering lots of questions from our students, David took us....

 ...on a tour of their amazing museum.

We loved learning about everything the museum contained including over....

...200 uniforms on mannequins.  They enjoyed learning about the different uniforms and...

 ...how they changed over the years for men and women.

The medals, awards and badges that David showed us... 

...were just part of them on display at the museum.  You can learn more about all of the different ones on their website here. 

We are very thankful for our Skype with David.

It was the perfect way to spend time thinking about the veterans who have served our country.

We hope we connect with you and the others from Livingston County War Museum again.
