America! U.S Presidents and Symbols

AMERICA! AMERICA!

We learned all about U.S Presidents and Symbols!

You can purchase my America Kit on TPT here!

This can all be found in my AMERICA UNIT!

We made these ADORABLE 

George Washington and Abraham Lincoln Faces!

LINCOLN LOG RHYMING!

This is a great activity to help with rhyming.

Students read the two rhyming words in the cloud
and listen if they rhyme with the picture on 

Lincoln's Log Cabin. If they all rhyme, they put a penny "heads up" on the door.
If it does not rhyme, they put a penny "tails down" on the door. I let the kiddos use whisper phones.

You can purchase whisper phones at Lakeshore Learning but I made my own out of PVC pipe.

See how HERE.

This is my daughter Makena practicing!

We learned all about becoming a president with this interactive activity at Scholastic.

Scholastic: Helping Kids Learn About Presidents

After, we made a class book, 

"If I Were President" I would...

Then, we made and read our own book "If I Were President".

We used red, white and blue cards to create words with 

word families and letters.

We learned all about U.S Symbols!

We made these adorable U.S Symbols.

I have step by step directions in my TPT unit.

We compared and contrasted U.S Symbols and Global Symbols.

 In small groups, students sorted U.S Symbols and NOT U.S Symbols

During WORK on WRITING for the Daily 5, 

students did "U.S Write the Room".

We read books about U.S Symbols

We looked at coins and observed

 Presidents and Symbols on them all.

This is all in my TPT unit!

We sang this MONEY POEM (again in my TPT unit).

You can listen to this song on YOUTUBE at Teacher Tipster.

I made a life size ABRAHAM LINCOLN and we compared how tall we were with him. 

The kiddos loved this!

Valentine's Splat the Cat Kit on TPT








We make this adorable Splat the Cat craftivity.

We make Splat's Friendship Fruit Salad together!
The kiddos can write a recipe for
Splat's Friendship Fruit Salad

 

The kiddos bring in various pieces of fruit. We talk about what it means to be a good friend.
In the story "Love, Splat", 
Splat and another cat argue over Kitten.
We talk about kindness, fairness, loyalty, niceness, 
sharing and love.
When "mixed" all together, a great FRIENDSHIP is made!
(a sign-up list and writing templates are included in my TPT unit)

Splat the Cat has a big crush on Kitten. 
He writes her a love letter in the story.
We make a class book of LOVE LETTERS
 using these templates
(all found in my TPT unit)

 

   

We write the room with Splat!

We compare and contrast 
Pete the Cat and Splat the Cat 
using a Venn Diagram

We also sort and graph with Splat 

using conversational hearts.

I put these covers on the front of the boxes.

We play SPLAT-GO!

This is sight word Bingo with Splat the Cat.

We use conversational heart candies to cover the hearts.

 

This is one of my FAVORITE activities!

LOVE POTION!

This is a science experiment using dry ice and red fruit punch.

The template is found in my TPT unit.
