Just in case you didn't have enough activities for Presidents' Day, here's one more. Click HERE or the book cover for a free online version of the book, Arthur Meets the President. In the book Arthur visits several national landmarks. Teaching national landmarks is in our state standards, so I thought I would work that into Monday's lesson. Click HERE or the picture for a National Landmark Foldable Booklet. Arthur visits each of these places in the book. I've included two versions. One with the names and one without. You could have the kids find one fact about each or just write in the name of the landmark. The map on the last page can be used to trace Arthur's journey through Washington DC. Here's a cute video,too. Good luck as you continue to create magic in your classroom!

Good morning, y'all! This is my last Monday to sleep in and wouldn't you know my little one was awake at 6:15....what?! BUT, at least I'm able to link up early to Tara's Monday Made It! I spent more time on curriculum work than crafting this week. I mapped out my first day and first week plans. Now I just need to tackle long range plans. {Monday Made It #1} The first thing I did was write questions on this beach ball for an icebreaker activity on the first day. Since I'm looping up with my students, I feel like we all "know" each other, so I didn't ask the basic getting to know you questions. I think this will be a fun activity, though! The questions are: Tell us something fun you did during the summer. If you could be any animal, what would you be? Why? What are you most looking forward to this year? What job do you want when you get older? If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? Why? {Monday Made It #2} The second thing I made was a Math About Me poster. I originally heard of the idea last year and then I saw this pin that reminded me of it! So, I created my Math About Me poster. I tried to use expanded form and other ways to write numbers. As I am introducing the idea using my poster, we will "solve" each section. For example, on the first one I wrote that I've been married for 49 months. Together we will figure out how many years/months this is. On the first day of school, students will determine what 8 facts they would like to include and on the second day they will create their Math About Me posters to hang outside in the hallway! I think it's a fun way to start the year in Math! I put a shape over my picture for this because it's a picture of me and my son and I didn't really want his picture to make it's way to Pinterest! Sorry for the iPhone picture. :/ Now, I want to explain the years for the bottom left. When my husband saw it, he asked why I was in school for so long! Elementary school was Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade, which equals 6 grades. Middle/high school was 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th which equals 7 grades. The rest are self-explanatory! And actually, my elementary and middle school was all in ONE small little country school! Stay tuned for a recap of the Carolina Bloggers Meet Up! I was only able to join in for lunch, but it was fun! I'll post about it soon!
