Tip #74 from 365 Teacher Secrets for Parents (McKInley & Trombly) - Presidents' Day
Today's tip for parents from two talented teachers comes from 365 Teacher Secrets for Parents by Cindy McKinley Alder and Patti Trombly.
#74
Presidents
Day
Here
is a great opportunity to visit the library with your child
to search for some age-appropriate books about these very famous presidents.
Presidents Day is usually
celebrated in February. However, no matter what time of year it is, it’s always
a good time to learn more about our past presidents. In honor of our past
leaders, why not have some fun while reading about them? Try to find a book
either at your child's reading level for him to read on his own or any
interesting book to read to your
child during shared reading time about any president they find interesting. You
might even make a KWL chart of things that you've learned (Idea #94).
Once you've learned about
them, challenge your child to make a birthday card for one of the former
presidents. What kind of a personalized message or picture will he put on it
especially for him, based on the information he has learned? Have him pretend
to send it. Could you write back to him as
the president himself and reply to his thoughtful message? Fun activities like
this make reading all the more meaningful and fun.
