Karen Lloyd, director of the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., dances the hokey pokey along with West Homer Elementary Principal Eric Waltenbaugh, right, during a special lesson taught by retired McNeil Canyon teacher Bill Noomah at the elementary school in Homer, Alaska on Thursday, Oct. 19, 2017. Noomah, whose lesson was created to teach kids about Veterans Day and about using primary sources in research, had the students and adults take breaks by getting up and dancing. Lloyd was visiting Alaska from D.C. and came to Homer when she heard Noomah would be presenting his lesson, which is based on a collection from the Veterans History Project.
