Presidents

This week we had so much fun learning about presidents and our country with Mrs. B., our student teacher.  I'm so proud of her!  She has done a great job with the kids and they absolutely love her.  Below are some pics of us in action and some are not action shots b/c I forgot to snap the pictures.  Enjoy!


We are learning to recognize coins and their value.  This game is helping us learn just that.



I made this little odd/even game a couple of years ago and my kids like it so much I've made several more since then.  They just roll the number cube.  Next, they count out the pennies alternating between presidents.  Last, they have to decide if it's odd or even depending on if they have the same amount of pennies or not.




Practicing our addition skills with pennies.


Sorting and graphing coins


Stamping the middle vowel sounds for the pictures.

Practicing writing sight words


Sounding out CVC words


Mrs. B. let us "play" on our ActivBoard learning about money and coins.


Here is an example of our Abe Lincoln hats.  On the back is an envelope where each student got to put an important piece of paper in it just like Abe did with his hat.



Mrs. B. let us make American Flags with graham crackers, icing, twizzlers, and blueberries.
Thanks to Bailee's mom for providing the snack items!





The finished product...cute!
