Today we did the George Washington from my Winter Art and Writing Pack but with it I used Cara’s Pint Sized Presidential Fun to make this Bulletin Board.
Here’s how it went down ya’ll….
There was a discussion about Presidents Day. When I asked them to tell me about the first president they said it was Washington. Then I said what do you know about Washington…They said he was black and that he lied about a cherry tree….and that “Obama was wrecking this town”.
So I quickly turned the mood with a question…. Why Would You Be A Good President? (Thanks Cara!)
Most stated that there should be more recess, time off, and even weeks off. One said we should take holidays off because that is why they are called holidays. (Couldn’t have said it better in my opinion) Then we had the preventative thinkers that wanted to stop bullying, bad guys, robbers, stealers, and littering. Here’s an example of the writing that went with the craft. (the craft is from my unit and the writing paper is from Cara’s unit)
Next we made ourselves into presidents.

omgosh!!! so stinkin' cute! I already have her super e in my wishlist for next year, since I taught that in the beginning of year, but I'm glad the kiddos LOVE it! 🙂

Love the kids' comments!! When I asked mine to tell me their schema about the president one told me that he works on computers and another told me he lives in a house with a square roof!

First, I can't remember if I told you- but I really like what you've done with the place (blog design)!
Second, a good president WOULD stop the drinking of beer- that "shameful, sinful nectar" as my Granny calls it. Nothing good ever comes from it (the day after, that is….it's all gravy baby while you're drinking it!!!)
