president's day!

this is going to be a short but sweet post....since the kiddos have actual president's day off.....i am busy creating some fun 'president' activities for tomorrow!!....we are going to read an abraham lincoln book and then 'sticky note' our thinking on paper....and then use our favorite facts to put inside the abe's hat when we do Mrs. Lemon's preseident's day craftivity!!!

Then we are going to write a letter to president obama...the kids can either thank him for all he does for our country or ask him questions that they have about being the president...then i am going to send all of our letters to the white house, and see if we get a response!!! how cool would that be if we got a letter?!?! the kids would be ecstatic!!!!! :)

below are some freebies that i just created to use along with the activities above!!! so click and print away!
