Begin by having students describe what they see in each image and identify the people and jobs represented, such as dentists or teachers. Encourage students to share how these workers help them in their daily lives, then discuss why it's important to have a special day that honors people who help us and how to show appreciation for them. - [Going to the Dentist](https://edvr.se/aDa-PYo-omp/dental-practice-surgery) - [Riding a Bus](https://edvr.se/aDa-PYo-omp/riding-a-bus-send) - [Railways](https://edvr.se/aDa-PYo-omp/railway-station-scene) - [School Yard](https://edvr.se/aDa-PYo-omp/vrm-playground-vrroom) ***A 360° Image Tribute to Veterans*** - These 360° images can be used to transport students to historic sites that honor those who have served and their families.
