Happy Sunday evening! Here I am, blogging... (instead of lesson planning... or cleaning... or grocery shopping... doing everything else I should have done this weekend!) Actually we did do our taxes this weekend. After that I felt pretty drained and unable to do anything productive. Is that your feeling too after filing? :) Anyways, I DID finally get together all the Presidential fun we had last week and put together some fun ideas and freebies for y'all! Here's what we've been up to... Measuring Abe Lincoln This was so much fun! First we measured Abe Lincoln and I modeled (once again...) how to measure using feet and inches. Then we broke into partners and practiced measuring each other. Once the students measured each other, they came up to the board and filled out their partner's info on the class data table (sorry, I forgot to snap a picture!) Then I let the kiddos measure me and I modeled using my information to fill out the comparison sheet.
