President's Day

    We read Celebrating President's Day by Kim Jordano. Then we completed a nonfiction reading response. The students copied the word presidents and illustrated themselves as President. Then we talked with our partners about what we learned about the President's job from the book. We shared out and choose three facts to write. We stretched out the words together and I filled in the chunks you can't hear or they didn't know. 

   We created Uncle Sam hats. Then we rolled dice and used the students to act out addition stories. Then students went to their seats and played President's Day roll and cover addition with their partner.

President's Day

We had lots of Presidential fun integrating President's Day into our lessons! Here's a few activities we did:

In Math, we told subtraction stories using pennies about buying items at a bake sale.

In Social Studies, we learned about George Washington, made a three corner hat, and wrote facts on our hats.

We also learned about Abraham Lincoln and wrote facts about him as well on his beard, used a black and white picture of ourselves as his face and made a top hat.

We read My Teacher for President and created a double bubble map comparing and contrasting the President's job with a teacher's job.
