Hey friends! I'm gearing up for Valentine's Day and trying to stay ahead of the game by being a few weeks planned out. While I should always do this....THIS never happens. It helps to have a student teacher! :) Anyways....while looking at some upcoming units, I started getting excited about President's Day. I just love my Presidential unit and am even more excited about it this year because I purchased DeAnna's America unit! Whoo hoo! I snagged a few pics of a George Washington project my students made and a bulletin board we put together out of their shadows last year. I actually drew my kinders' shadows for Groundhog Day and held on to their outlines for this bulletin board. Can I get an AMEN for killing 2 birds with 1 stone?! Yess!!!
I put together this little informative booklet/emergent reader for my kiddos and wanted to share. Most of the clipart was found on Scholastic. Students can "butter" the words they know, label the February calendar on pg. 2 and sticker President's Day with a gold star, and even draw themselves as the president on the last page. I hope you enjoy. I don't know about ya'll...but that 3 day weekend cannot get here soon enough! Can't a woman get a cold front up in here?!?
Just click on the image to grab from google docs and leave me some love, please! Hope everyone had a happy day back.

Love your student shadows! Any tips, you did such a great job. I have tried in the past, they don't always look as good as I'd like.

@ Tonia, I just tape the black construction paper to a door and center the child in the middle....flip on the overhead, grab a white piece of chalk, and start drawing. I tell them to be SUPER still and I trace like a mad woman! I usually add a little extra detail when I'm cutting them out so they look more realistic. But it's tough. Good luck! :)
Love this! You are awesome! =)
