Washington, Lincoln, and Obama

This week we are learning about President Washington, President Lincoln, and President Obama.  

On Tuesday, I showed the students a picture of George Washington and asked them if they knew who he was. A few said "GEORGE WASHINGTON!" So we watched a short video clip from Scholastic on him and then read a few informational books. Next, we charted our new knowledge. (This is my favorite part!) 



 After charting we wrote an informational piece on him and made a George Washington hat to attach our writing too. 











The next day we learned about President Abraham Lincoln. I showed the students a picture of him and asked them if they knew who he was. No one guessed Abraham Lincoln. When I told them who he was and most knew he was one of our presidents. Next, we watched a short video clip from Scholastic on him and then read an informational book and a picture book about President Lincoln. 





Next, we charted our new knowledge. We filled out our graphic organizer and then wrote 2 facts (an informational piece) on Abraham Lincoln. We then glued the writing on President Lincoln's stove-top hat!




 


Then it was time for Barack Obama. I asked if anyone knew who was our president.  So many of them did. We learned several new facts, made a craft, and wrote our favorite fact.

We had to get some more photos while we ate our special snack.  


We all had our own box of conversation hearts.  We graphed them, made observations about our graph, and then...ATE THEM!!
