Presidents' Day

Those Rebels, John and Tom by Barbara Kerley is a fun read aloud that chronicles the lives and friendship of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. The text is perfect for using a venn diagram to compare/contrast the two famous presidents. 
This is a copy of what we worked on as a class last year. Other topics for discussion surrounding the book include friendship and teamwork. 

Also in the plans for this week students will create a bar graph using birth months of all the presidents.
This bundle includes the graphing activities along with a map review. A sheet for morning work or homework includes fact/opinion, commas, and capital letters.
Have a great week!
