Disclaimer: As mythology, no fact checking is allowed! Just repeating what I was taught at school in America: George Washington (1700s) was: the first American president, the Father of the Country.…
Today I found out about the presidents before the U.S. Constitution went into effect. Schools in the United States teach children from an early age that the first president of the United States was George Washington. But teachers often forget to mention a small, kind of important detail- George Washington was the first U.S. president under the current United States [...]

Visit Montpelier, the home of America's fourth president and Father of the Constitution, James Madison. Walk in his footsteps and learn about his significant contributions to our country and government.
The Declaration of Independence written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776 describes a man's place in society and is divided into political, economic, and social aspects.
The constitutional reform that Vladimir Putin presented on 15th January 2020 was a surprise, especially for those who are not following Russia’s domestic political developments. The possibility of a significant transfer of powers from the president to the Duma (parliament) has been discussed repeatedly over the course of the past year.
Finding materials to help young students understand Constitution Day for young students is always difficult!! With that thought in mind, I created this Shared Reading PowerPoint for Constitution Day in kindergarten classrooms!! This PowerPoint can be projected for whole class shared reading or printed to be used as a full-color class book!! On each slide, there is a person (boy, girl, grandmother, grandfather, teacher, police officer, fire fighter, President Obama). In the speech bubble, the person says, "The Constitution is the law for me." The very repetitive structure of this story will allow even the earliest readers to be successful, while still reinforcing the message that the Constitution tells the laws for everyone in our country. This text also allows early readers to practice tracking and to begin to recognize some basic sight words (the, is, for, and me) while celebrating an important (and required!!) day! I am also posting an emergent reader little book which will accompany this PowerPoint perfectly; click here for the little book:) Thanks for looking and happy teaching!!! Melissa Williams

Early Republic US History Bellworks! These "Prediction Bellworks" are the best way I know of to start class and to get students bought into the lesson while also helping them to stay engaged throughout the lesson! Prediction Bellworks turn learning goals into prediction questions so that students start-off by taking a logical guess about what they might learn and what history will unfold over the course of the lesson! Topics included in this bundle: Articles of Confederation Shays’ Rebellion (2x alternatives) Constitutional Convention (2x alternatives) George Washington- 3 Truths & a lie 🤣 George Washington’s Presidency Bank Debate (2x alternatives) Adams & the XYZ Affair The Louisiana Purchase Impressment of Soldiers The Embargo Act The War of 1812 Prediction Bellworks are awesome because they: When students make predictions, they have ‘skin in the game.’ It increases motivation to learn by giving students something to pay attention to and see if they’re right or not. Doing this in the first minutes of class, can make students more curious about a topic they otherwise wouldn’t really care about. It improves learner outcomes because students are more likely to remember the lesson since they had something at stake during the lesson. When they finally discover if they’re correct or not, the lesson is more likely to ‘stick’ since students have an emotional investment in the topic. If you do this routinely, it will become very efficient and students will feel very confident every time they come to your class! Sample Prediction Bellwork Printout Version:

1-2-3 Come Do Some More Coin Activities With Me The more opportunities you give students to experience coins, the better chance they have of latching on to some sort of comparison, fact or piece of trivia that will help them identify the coins. Making the Coin Autograph Booklet is a fun way to do that. Run off copies for all of your students, or simply make one for yourself and share your teacher’s copy with them. I did a bit of research to see if I could find the the President’s signatures, and found them extremely interesting. Washington and Jefferson wrote with feather quills, so set up a center activity where your students can write their name with a feather-dipped in paint. I did this for a Constitution Day activity and have a template for that you can use. Click on the link to view/download the quill page from Activities For Constitution Day. To get some name writing practice in, include an extra page with the booklet and have students collect some autographs of their friends, or to expedite things, have each student sign one paper, and run off copies for everyone, entitled Your Classmate’s Autographs. Click on the link to view/download the Coin Autograph Booklet. Set up a center with these 6 coin puzzles and help your students practice counting, counting backwards from 10 to 1, and skip counting by 10's to 100, as they review the various coins. Click on the link to view/download the coin puzzle packet. Another way to review coins as well as skip counting by 2's, 3's, 5's, and 10's is with these President trace and write skip counting skip counting cards. I used nickels for students to count by 5's with, and dimes when they count by 10's. Covers are included if you want your kiddos to make Itty Bitty Coin Counting booklets. Click on the link to view/download the coin cards. When I'm studying something with my students, I try and cover several standards. With that in mind, I designed 30 grammar coin cards. Use them as pocket cards and read them as a whole group. This is an interesting way to review facts about the various coins. Using a dry erase marker, call on students to circle any letters that should be capitalized and have them add end punctuation as well. I made enough cards so that you can pass one out to each student. When everyone has shared their corrected card, put several on the board and have children rewrite the sentences correctly on a sheet of paper. Click on the link to view/download the 30 grammar coin cards. The Dollar Shapes Up is another money-themed easy reader that reviews shapes. Click on the link to view/download it. Finally, My Buck Book is an easy reader as well, and reviews ways students can make a dollar. Click on the link to view/download it. That's it for today. Thanks for visiting. I hope you found a few things that will help your students with coin identification.
