Today the kids heard the story "If I Were President" by Catherine Stier. She has some really great activities that go along with this story in addition to other works she's had published!
The kids made a patriotic craft for your home today. You can either display it now, wait until 4th of July, or keep it up all year long!If you have a little artist in your family, you might want to visit this site that has printable coloring pages for President Obama's Inaguration.
If that wasn't enough crafting I found another site that has a biography of our new president in addition to a paper plate craft idea (not the one we did in class), and some more pages to print.
For the history buffs out there, Our White House offers some great things to read for kids to explain about inaugurations in general and Obama's specifically.
Finally for those of you who want to go really over the top-- try hosting your own Inaugural Ball tonight for dinner. Serve your meal on your best china, dress up in your fanciest clothes, and then dance the night away. It would be a fun memory for all of you :)
