Grades: Kindergarten, 1, 2, 3 Subjects: English Language Arts, Holiday/Seasonal, President's Day Pages: 7 Fun writing paper to help you celebrate the President's Day.
I say Presidents' Day, you say Presidents Day...Let's call the whole thing off. Ok, we're not singing about tomatoes, but I'm not completely sure what the correct punctuation for this holiday is. I Googled it, and it's still not clear. I think Presidents' Day looks right. Once you get a look at all the goodies I created for you, I don't think you'll mind how I chose to punctuate. I put together a whole days worth of activities for this holiday. I've got Reading, Writing, Math, and Social Studies covered for you. I really appreciate all the kind words you guys have been sending my way and REALLY appreciate you following my blog. It's just like when you have students that are always saying thank you, it makes you want to do that much more for them. I hope you enjoy all the activities. You can click on any of the pictures or HERE to grab a complete and FREE copy of the entire unit. If you like what you see I would love it if you followed me, liked my fan page, and/or left me a comment. Either way, I wish you luck as you continue to create magic in your classroom! Social Studies Have students research Abraham Lincoln. Using the information they gather, have them make a biopoem. Once they have created the poem, they can type it into Tagxedo. Have them choose the Abraham Lincoln shape and print. It is so cool. If you don't know about Tagxedo, check out my post from last week, HERE. Writing Click HERE or on the book cover to get a free online video version of the book, So You Want to Be President. You will have to watch a commercial, but you can download using Zamzar. If you download, it will eliminate the commercial for you and you can save it to your flashdrive. Let me know if you need help with this. After reading the book, let students write a descriptive paragraph about what they would do if they were president. Math Let students stack pennies and find the mean, median, mode, and range. Your students will LOVE this! Reading Let students read the passage and complete the graphic organizer. Liz from Liz's Lesson created a great French and Spanish Presidents' Day packet.

Photo Source: Growing Kinders Looking for a simple way to incorporate President's Day into your lessons? Kathleen over at Growing Kinders featured an "If I Were President..." writing activity that would be perfect! The printable worksheet is provided for FREE, so be sure to stop by Kathleen's site to get your copy. The worksheet will give your kiddos a chance to write about something they would like to accomplish if they were president. It also includes a small space for a cute drawing to accompany their idea/goal. For older students, you could have them expand on the idea by creating additional writing space on the back (a piece of notebook paper would do the trick). Have them dig deep to explore ways they believe their idea could really make a difference!

What do I still need? - manila folders or construction paper - glue - colored pencils / markers / crayons - scissors THAT'S IT :) Still not sure what a lapbook is or how to incorporate one into your classroom?! You can check out my blog post here to read more. Other Suggestions: - Instead of creating a lapbook, include the 9-themed foldables into your Interactive Notebook! - Coloring these pages does take some time. I suggest asking students to color them for homework and/or having them color during free time. Your students can specialize the folder any way they want, which makes it more special and individualized. This is great because no two memory books have to be the same!

The best Presidents Day activities for preschoolers to do this February. Hands on Presidents Day crafts and activities for kids.
Photo Source: Rachelle Davis Great for President's Day or perhaps an election year, this display created by Rachelle Davis not only provides a festive holiday decoration for your classroom or hallway, but doubles as a fun writing activity for your students! We love the contrast of the student silhouettes on the colored construction paper and the writing paper, with the Presidential Seal, offers a fun and authentic element to your kiddos' prompts! Presidential Silhouettes There are two ways {that we know of} to create silhouettes... {Old School Way}. Use a projector, casting each student's shadow on the wall, tracing the silhouette onto a piece of black paper with a white colored pencil, and cutting it out. {More Technologically Advanced Way}. We found this tutorial, created by Julia of Everyday Mom Ideas, that shows how to use a free photo editing software to create silhouettes in 4 easy steps. If you're tech-savvy and don't have time to do more than take your students pictures during class time, you might want to check it out! If I Were President... Background: White bulletin board paper. Title: "If I Were President..." Border: Patriotic trimmer. Decoration: Once you've created a silhouette for each of your students, glue them to pieces of colored construction paper - red, white, or blue. As they dry, mount each student's writing prompt/paper to a piece of black construction paper and attach the pages to the bottom of the appropriate silhouette. Arrange the finished prompts on the bulletin board in the color pattern - red, white, blue, red, white, etc. [NOTE: Once they've penned their final draft onto the provided prompt paper, students can assemble the silhouette craftivity so all you'll have to do is arrange them onto the bulletin board!]
