To help make your Presidents Day more fun and engaging, I’m sharing some favorite learning activities that young students have loved over the years. They should help make prepping for Presidents Day a little easier! George Washington & Abraham Lincoln Activities We usually start off our Presidents Day unit by discussing George Washington and Abraham […]

February is the one of those months that is just packed full of holiday greatness! I love incorporating all of the fun themes! Presidents' Day is coming up very soon and I wanted to plan some fun things that I knew my students would love! I teach kindergarten, but I have modified all of these presidential activities for first and second grades, too. We are focusing on identifying key ideas and details within the text, so that's what I decided to make the core comprehension skill in this unit. Add a few cute crafts and my favorite presidential books and we are all set! So, these are probably my top 5 Presidents' Day books. I have more that I use, but you can only fit so many in within a week. This year, I went with these for our upcoming study. I have ordered some better George Washington books this year. I have the Kindle version of them, but I think it's important to have the actual books so they aren't pictured. I love George Washington and the General's Dog by Frank Murphy and The First President by Baby Professor for kindergarten. The ones I had on hand were a little to long for them. We are doing our Presidents' Day unit the week of the holiday, so it's only a four-day week. I will have to cram two days into one. Day One will go pretty quickly so I will read this book as an intro and students will register to vote in our classroom election later in the week. This book is ADORABLE! If you don't have it, order it NOW from Scholastic. It's super cute! I can't wait to read My Teacher is President to my kindergarteners. We are going to use the key details about a teacher to also try to persuade others' to vote for me in the classroom election. I'll be going up against Duck, so I'll need all the help I can get! I also can't wait to see their depictions of me with this craft. Should be interesting... Duck will be the second candidate in our election for President. This book is just hysterical and never gets old. They will also be recording key details from the text and recording reasons to vote for Duck. This craft is just darling, and I know they will love it! The last time we made Duck at Christmas, they giggled throughout the entire thing. They were so excited when it was completed. I have already told you about the George Washington books that we will be using, but I will also be showing a BrainPop JR. video. I'll do the same with Abraham Lincoln. This book about Abe Lincoln's Hat is really good! I did not know all of the history about his famous hat until I read this story. It's very interesting and all of the accounts are true. It's a perfect book for identifying key ideas and details. I am a firm believer in keeping your graphic organizers consistent. Students will start internalizing these while reading if you use the same ones enough within a skill. I came up with this one for identifying details to start getting kids ready for main ideas and details, since that is such a huge skill! At the end of the unit, students will cast their vote for their teacher or for Duck. I made a new ballot box this year. It's just a shoe box wrapped in craft paper. I included templates for the letters and stars in the pack so you could make your own. I also tried to make the ballots very simple for our young voters. After students vote, instead of getting a sticker, they get to make these fun buttons! It's just paper, but they turned out so cute. I usually attach stuff to kids' shirts with a paper clip. But if you want to get fancy, you could hot glue one of those pins to the back of it. Here is everything that is included in the Presidents' Day ELA unit below. But I am also throwing in a FREEBIE for everyone! Keep scrolling! We need some practice during our word work time with a few previous skills, so I created a freebie no prep pack for that week. You can grab it below. I hope you have a great upcoming week! Thanks for stopping by! Wish me luck in our classroom election! ;)

Hello everyone! I am back to write about my recently uploaded February STEAM Activities resource. The STEAM Activities have been a HUGE hit in my classroom, so I cannot wait to continue them for the rest of the year!! The Febraury STEAM Activities set also comes with five activities. I again tried to incorporate every letter of STEAM's acronym (science, technology, engineering, art and math) throughout the month's activities. Click here to find the link to the product. The first activity in my February STEAM pack is Groundhog's Galore In this activity, students will use a 12x18 piece of paper (pre-cut), a groundhog template picture, tape and a flashlight to build the Groundhog. They will build the burrow and be able to create the Groundhog coming in and out of his den. Once everyone in the class has built their creations, the teacher may turn off the lights and students can practice and learn more about shadows. Included in this is two informational sheets to build on student knowledge: There is a graphic organizer included to help students plan and improve their creations! The next activity in my February STEAM pack is Love Bugs Students will build love bugs out of three pipe cleaners, red and white beads, and Googly eyes. If teachers are interested in saving their beads and pipe cleaners, they can use smaller pipe cleaners and less beads. Students can decide if they want to keep the love bug for themselves or give it to someone they love. If they choose to give it to someone else, they can include the following gift tag. The third activity in my February STEAM Pack is White House Construction. To celebrate President's Day, students will build the white house using paper, a cereal box, templates of the US flag and tape! They will have to make sure that their white house can stand tall and hold the president! Included to build student knowledge is an informational page about President's Day and a graphic organizer to help plan for their work. Next in the February STEAM Activities is Tooth Fairy Flight During this activity, students will learn how to build a paper airplane! To celebrate Dental Awareness Month, they will follow the given directions page to build their airplane and attach the tooth fairy. Once the airplanes are created students can measure the distances their airplanes go using rulers or any non-standard forms of measurement that you choose! Included is a "Tell Me About Teeth" informational page to learn about the importance of cleaning your teeth! The final activity in the Finally STEAM Activities is the Google Classroom and Lego lesson. Students will start on Google classroom. They will move the colored Lego pieces from the left side of the screen to the puzzle on the right side of the screen. This will help them build Valentine's Day images: a heart, a Hershey's Kiss, a rose and a mailbox! While the students are completing the Google Classroom lesson, they can color the graphic organizer to then visualize what each winter item should look like. Finally, they can use the graphic organizer to build with real Legos! The Google and graphic organizer are a great way for students to plan what to build! Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope these February STEAM Activities make Science class extra fun for you and your students! Enjoy! February STEAM Activities

Have your students create the hand prints with paint or construction paper, then fill out the inside of the page with their dreams - dreams for themselves, dreams for their families, dreams for the community/school, dreams for the world, etc. We think this is a fabulous way for your students to make a personal connection with the holiday!
