Veterans Day – Special Guests Visit Mrs. Mukherjee’s Class!

Blog by Mrs. Mukherjee:

Mrs. Mukherjee’s first graders have been learning about Veteran’s this week as we gear up to honor our Veteran’s. Today we were lucky to have two Veteran’s come and visit our classroom. Celine Burleson and Jennifer Brandt came to share their stories of being in the Navy and the Air Force. Celine has a therapy dog, Beamer, to help her handle some of the stresses and events from her deployments in Iraq. Each student was able to touch Beamer and learn how he came to be a therapy dog, but also learn about what it was like for Celine and Jennifer to be in the military. They were able to learn about their jobs while in the service, how they decided to join the service, and ask questions.
