President's Day Resources

Okay, I know it's about a month before President's Day but a teacher has to be prepared, right?!

I admit I have this TeRrIbLe OCD compulsion.  I LOVE to be organized.  I stress out if I am not.

Just ask my husband.

Our weeks are so busy shuttling our kiddos to practices, homework, meetings, and oh yeah, my new workout regiment.  

So I spent a few hours researching some ideas for President's Day.  Take a peek at all of these ideas.

4.  President's Day Lapbook for Bigger Kids
I absolutely adore Lapbooks.  They work so well with the Common Core Standards.  I love to use them as a study guide for our social studies and science units.  I'm working on one for the American Revolution right now.   I just had to create one for President's Day.  I can't wait to use this with my students.

You can find this "President's Day Patriotic Lapbook for Bigger Kids" in my TPT store by clicking HERE or on any of the photos above.

5.  Free resources from TPT

I hope these are some helpful ideas for President's Day.   Have a blessed week friends!  It's mid-term this week for my school district so I have papers I need to get to work grading.  I can't believe we are already halfway through third quarter.  This school year is flying by!

And since I LOVE to give away my newest units, the first 3 to comment about an activity they use for President's Day in the classroom will receive my newest unit " President's Day Patriotic Lapbook for Bigger Kids" for free.
