IT'S ABOUT TIME, TEACHERS, for PRESIDENTS!

 

Inauguration Day is Jan. 20th and Presidents' Day is Feb. 17th. So, it's about time for some presidential resources.

How about some trivia about our leaders? These 20 task cards will reveal interesting and intriguing facts about our presidents. Use them for a research project or enrichment. Available digitally and in print. Click here to jump to the product page.

Extend the learning to math and literacy with VOCABULARY FRACTIONS TASK CARDS. Your learners will reveal the names of presidents by combining fractional parts of words. They must deduce the correct word represented by the picture and use correct spelling. Solving equivalent fractions provides even more challenge. These task cards are presented in print and digitally on TPT Easel.


PRESIDENTS VOCABULARY FRACTIONS are so fun that I made 2 sets! Click here for the 2nd edition.


PRESIDENTS SQUARE PUZZLERS are fun and challenging brain teasers. The puzzles must be reconstructed so that the images match on every interior side. This builds perseverance and stamina, but disguises it all as fun.


Some poetry for presidents allows you to teach about the presidents, poetry, and so many other topics. Check out the POETRY POSSIBILITIES provided to find skill lessons and activities.

IT'S ABOUT TIME, TEACHERS, for THE ELECTION!


It's about time for the Presidential Election in the U.S.  My favorite way to teach election vocabulary is with ELECTION HINK PINKS, et al.  These word riddles help children learn to problem solve while exercising vocabulary skills (definitions, synonyms, parts of speech, rimes, ...).  These task cards prompt learners to interpret datamake inferencesdraw conclusions, and analyze new information. Here's a sample:


These Hink Pink puzzles are ideal for upper elementary and middle school classes.

IT'S ABOUT TIME for VOCABULARY FRACTIONS!


 

What, you may ask, are VOCABULARY FRACTIONS? They are task cards that challenge your learners' critical thinking skills, proficiency with fractions, and fluency with content specific vocabulary. But, your students will just think they are fun.

The task gradually increases in difficult, transitioning from 2 part clues with words and pictures to as many as 5 part clues with just pictures. In their quest to solve the riddle, pupils must deduce the correct word and its spelling. Solving equivalent fractions provides even more challenge.


Who needs VOCABULARY FRACTIONS?

    • intermediate students
    • enrichment students
    • G/T learners
    • small group learners needing extra practice on fractions
    • fast finishers
