One more AMAZING week at JCA!
MANY things going on!!!
Five veterans visited us on Veterans' Day!
One of them had served in the army, and five of them served in the Marines.
One of them was a sniper and one of them operated a gun while riding on
the side of a helicopter!
LOTS of good questions from the kids.
We said the pledge and then had a word of prayer.
They explained what each fold meant when folding up a flag into a triangle.
The folded flag is then presented to a fallen soldier's family at the funeral.
We learned so much about the flag and how we need to respect it.
We also learned about "retired" flags and how they are disposed of ...
respectfully!
Next, Ms. Shelley invited our friend, Shannon, to give a presentation
on seeds, stems, leaves, & roots and some of the foods we eat!
There were oranges....
snow peas.....
carrots, radishes, lettuce, celery, & asparagus!
Then everyone was allowed to TASTE!
