Jefferson and Lincoln

In kindergarten Core Knowledge we study the Mt. Rushmore Presidents. This is what we did for Jefferson. I read this book and we made posters with the facts we learned. I love that this student remembered to give Jefferson red hair! (the student is a red head too)

These are some of the books we read about Abraham Lincoln in addition to Mr. Lincoln's Whiskers.

Teddy Roosevelt

During our study of North America we learned about Teddy Roosevelt. We learned that he was a conservationist, hunter, and very popular. We also ready a story about how the Teddy Bear was named after Roosevelt.

Students brought in their teddy bears.

During math centers students estimated, counted, graphed, patterned, and added teddy bear counters.

They made these adorable bear puppets.

We learned about the White House. This book has good information. We also took a virtual tour online.

A few other books we read about the USA and Presidents.

L is for Liberty!

We are studying North America. We spent two days talking about the Statue of Liberty. We read these books and made these adorable crowns! I got the instructions here. I only used one plate per crown though, because I was running low! I can't decide if we should paint them before I cut the plates- the painting was really messy!- That's all part of kindergarten though.
