President's Day Misc.
Contact_FullName: Anne Kinner Contact_Email: Area: Presidents Day Games Idea: Have the class sit in a group. Choose one child to sit on the other side of a shelf. Tap one child in the group on the shoulder to say "Good Morning Mr. President". The other child three guesses as to who said it. Contact_FullName: Carol Contact_Email: cjanisz@knology.net Area: Presidents - Misc. Idea: Talk with the children at Together Time about what a president does. Ask the children to tell you what they would do if they were President. Make a book of their answers "What Would I Do to Make Our Country Good and True?" They could draw illustrations or cut pictures from magazines. Contact_FullName: Tammie Contact_Email: Area: Group Time/Misc. Idea: Today I asked my three year olds what would they do if they were president. I got some really precious answers. I wrote down each response on a large sheet of white construction paper. I also asked them "What does the president do?" I wrote those answers down on a large piece of paper. I hung them up on the door frame of my classroom. The parents really got a kick out of reading them. So cute!

Place the lamp on the side of the student away from the paper. Adjust the distances til you get the head of the child silhouetted on the paper. Trace and have the student's cut their silhouette out. Place the silhouette on the contrasting paper. Do this for each child (a room helper may be a benefit as this takes time.) Post these on a wall for show along with silhouettes of the Presidents. You may add a title to your wall. The children like to think that some day they might possibly be a president.

Contact_FullName: Jessica Gorman Contact_Email: msjess1978@msn.com Area: Presidents Day Science Idea: This project is great for 2yrs and up. It is really simple but the kids really seemed to like it. If you take a cup of vinegar and little bit of salt and mix it together then drop a really dirty penny into the solution it will clean the penny. The kids really enjoy watching it go from dirty to clean right in front of their eyes. |
