Homeschooling & More!

President’s Day is February 20th and if you are looking for fun, holiday-specific educational materials to supplement your lesson plans, here are three you may want to consider:

• President’s Day Unit for Kindergarten/1st Grade
  This download has 31 student pages in which students will learn about George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, money (specifically the penny, quarter, $1 and $5 bills), the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial. Skills include tracing, coloring and writing, counting and recognition of number words. Students will also be able to create their own President’s Day mini-book.
• President’s Day Vocabulary Unit for 3rd/4th Grades
  This download is centered around 27 vocabulary words and contains a variety of activities: categorizing parts of speech, discovering word meanings, alphabetizing, creative writing as well as a fun word maze and a word search. (Answer keys are also included.) Although this unit is leveled at 3rd-4th grade, it is appropriate for advanced 2nd graders as well as remedial 5th graders.
• Presidents Flash/Info Cards
  This download is perfect for any study of the presidents. Each card contains the president’s name, portrait, date of birth and death, party affiliation, age when inaugurated, his term(s) and a interesting, ‘famous’  fact.
