President’s Day Reading
Learning About Symbols of America
From bald eagles to the White House to the flag – American has quiet a few unique images and places that hold a lot of value. As a part of our President’s Day learning, we will learn about popular American symbols and then decide, as a class, what another American symbol could be. We use our paragraph writing to structure our thinking and it’s the perfect way to dip our toes into opinion writing.
Sending Mail to the White House
During my student-teaching year, we also got some VERY exciting mail just in time for President’s Day! In October, we wrote questions to the President (as we worked on asking sentence). A few months later a large yellow envelope arrived. We received a letter, picture, and information about our President and the Presidential dog! Sitting around our class carpet and carefully passing around our treasures it was such a sweet moment to see the wide eyes of 22 seven-year olds. (Note – it typically takes 3-5 months to get mail back from the White House, so as soon as you see this – DO IT!)

I love to laminate, but that cutting…that part I do not love. You sure have your work cut out for you. Just remember how glad you will be when it is done and you have such great activities. 🙂

I'm the queen of laminating too. I always call myself the lamination queen. I've never tried to make mine stand up, but I'm sure they would too. Don't you hate the cutting though?
Great freebie! Can't wait to use it next week.

This is not just a blog; it is a digital sanctuary that strengthens my faith journey and connects me with like-minded people.

As a teacher, I always aim to make Presidents Day engaging for my students. From crafting mini biographies to hosting mock debates, I strive to bring history to life in the classroom. And when it comes to navigating complex assignments like dissertations, I understand the need for support. That’s why I’m grateful for services that offer help, like Pay someone to write a dissertation, ensuring students get the assistance they need to excel in their academic journey.
