National History Day is a science fair-like competition centered around historical topics, and it's a very wonderful thing.
This PowerPoint uses samples of actual NHD exhibits to help students see how to create an effective exhibit and prove their thesis. This will work for any common core research project where students use primary and secondary sources to analyze a topic rather than simply report on it. This work is l...

An Original Antique Map An Original Antique Map CARLISLE by Robert Kearsley Dawson Published 1832 An original 19th century antique street plan of Carlisle, Cumbria, England. Drawn up by Lieutenant R.K. Dawson of the Royal Engineers and published by the Boundaries Commission in 1832. The whole country was surveyed for the commission to support the 1832 reform bill - a major shake-up of the nation's parliamentary representation. The upper map is on a scale of 1 inch to a mile and the lower at 4 inches to the mile. There is much detail here including individual buildings and it's interesting to compare the 19th century map with the much expanded Carlisle of the present day. Enhanced with original hand colouring and a colour key to the various boundaries. Fine, clean condition, free of repairs or restoration. No folds, blank verso. This large paper format is superior to the numerous folding editions which are so prone to offsetting and wear. Approx. 13.5" x 8.5" (340mm x 210mm) printed area only within the plate mark. (as depicted), with good margins beyond. A GENUINE ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAP GUARANTEED OVER 180 YEARS OLD FROM LINDISFARNE PRINTS VNFP1019

I love this book, Totem Tale, the culture and images are wonderful and perfect for first grade artists. I also put together a power point showing actual Totem Poles in Alaska and Washington. There are many books available on the subject too on Amazon or in your library. On the first day the student's created the totem drawings. Each student got a 9"x 6" sheet of construction paper. They picked two 4 1/2" x 6" pieces to glue stick onto the larger paper. I pulled out all of my "How To Draw" animal and nature books and worksheets and let them draw any three animals they were inspired to draw. The animals are very symbolic in Native American culture. We traced with sharpie and used construction paper to color. On day two, they finished coloring and picked three fat wooden sticks. They added pattern's to both sides of the sticks, after all it is a sculpture! I hot glued the paper to the paper towel tube then added the sticks too. The last step was to add the feathers which are also very symbolic in Native American tribes. I will update the display photos soon. Guess I left it at school. Here are a few updates on the display.

My son thinks our nation's presidential legacy is fascinating. And since President's Day is this month, I cooked up a fun game to help us celebrate. If you've played Sequence for Kids, you'll recognize the rules. The game board and cards feature 19 of the most "famous" presidents in U.S. history. Each card features: A star with a number; that number indicates where in the lineage of presidents he served (i.e. Richard Nixon's card says 37, because he was our nation's 37th president). The president's political party affiliation. A quick fact about their life and/or their presidency. Here's What You Need The game board (download a 4-page PDF here, print, and tape together) Game cards (download a 6-page PDF here, print on cardstock, and cut apart) Game pieces that are a different color for each player (we use poker chips) The Objective The first player to get four of their own game pieces on the game board in a row (horizontally or vertically) wins. How to Play Each player is dealt three cards and looks at their hand. The remaining card deck is the draw pile. Players can place a game piece on any president they have a card for in their hand. One game piece is placed on the board per turn. The card played is placed in a discard pile and the player draws a new card. Players should always have three cards in their hand. Special Cards There are two kinds of special cards in the deck: one where the player can place a game piece on ANY open space and another where the player can remove an opponent's game piece from anywhere. The player discards the special card, and in the case of the "remove an opponent's game piece," they cannot place their own game piece in its place until their next turn. Star Spaces The four corners of the game board are free spaces. A player can use one of these spaces as one of their four-in-a-row. These are the only four spaces on the board that more than one player can place a game piece on. Personal note: I tried my best to make sure there were no errors (it was a lot of facts to keep straight). If you spot one, please let me know! Looking for a fun book to pair with this activity? I've got a great one. We LOVE Judith St. George's book So You Want to Be President?. It's such a clever way to learn about the country's past presidents. My son took this to school when it was his week to share his favorite book with the class. CREDIT: This activity would not have been possible without the amazing free clipart of the presidents, available at WPClipart.
On the 6th of April, we would normally be parading down 6th Avenue to commemorate National Tartan Day, however this year due to Easter Weekend landing on that same week, New York Tartan Week will be celebrating a week later. Why We Celebrate National Tartan Day We celebrate National Tartan Day on the 6th of April every year. Senate chose April 6th as National Tartan Day to recognize the contributions made by Scottish-Americans to the United States. If ever there was a perfect opportunity to dig out your tartan If you’re lacking fashion inspiration or wondering which tartan accessories would be best to wear for such an occasion, then you’re in luck as we are official stockists of the New York Tartan Day Parade Tartan merchandise, which includes everything from ties to t-shirts, brooches and more. Why not try making your own backdrop using a Tartan Rug, creating your own Scottish drawing or even using some Tartan Ribbon and some garden cane to create a ribbon curtain? Why not make yourself a tartan flag using your colourful Tartan Designs from last week?

Wander and Wild have created some FREE printables for our community of little explorers to celebrate 'Heal Country' for NAIDOC week in 2021 and inspire and help your little ones to learn about our sacred Indigenous culture and encourage discussions about our traditional Australian landowners. We collaborated with Sheri from Bigi Nagala to create these printables. She is a proud Bidjara woman who tells Indigenous stories through her paint creations. She took our idea and ran with it to create the most beautiful paintings of Indigenous symbols which we’ve turned into FREE printables for you and your family to use and engage with.
