IT'S ABOUT TIME, TEACHERS, for VETERANS' DAY!

 

Veterans' Day is Monday, Nov. 11. How will you honor our veterans?

The history of this special day seems like a great place to start. However, a dry recitation of the facts is uninspiring. Condense it with poetry!

This poem, and the Poetry Possibilities that accompany it, will provide a concise description of the day's origins. You can find this resource here:

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 data, make inferences, draw conclusions, and analyze new information. Here's a sample:

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