Ever notice how many car dealerships extend Presidents' Day throughout the whole month of February? Well, that's what I do in the classroom!
February is incredibly busy, and I want to give the presidents the amount of time they're worth!
I've been teaching the children about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
We've spent a couple of days talking about the strengths and qualities of both presidents.
Here is one of the Writing Common Core Standards for Second Grade:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.2.1 Write opinion pieces in which they introduce the topic or book they are writing about, state an opinion, supply reasons that support the opinion, use linking words (e.g., because, and,also) to connect opinion and reasons, and provide a concluding statement or section.
Check out Elementary Matters to find this freebie on opinion writing we'll be using to address this Common Core standard.
Happy Presidents' Month!
