Presidents Day

I say Presidents Day, you say Presidents Day...Lets call the whole thing off. Ok, were not singing about tomatoes, but Im not completely sure what the correct punctuation for this holiday is. I Googled it, and its still not clear. I think Presidents Day looks right. Once you get a look at all the goodies I created for you, I dont think youll mind how I chose to punctuate. I put together a whole days worth of activities for this holiday. Ive 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. Its 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 dont 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.
