Today we focused on a President's Day theme (since the curriculum only had 2 days planned for this unit, we had time to spare). We sang a Singin' Smart song naming all of the US Presidents, then sang "Old Abe Lincoln". We then read "Duck for President" (same author and characters as "Giggle, Giggle, Quack"). We talked about George Washington's legend of the cherry tree before eating cherry flavored jello for snack. To go with Spontaneous Delight, we mixed baking soda with vinegar, using 6 cups each with a different color hidden in the baking soda. The kids squealed with "delight" watching them all fizz up. The kids loved making little Abe Lincoln log cabins. I could tell it was very on their level as they were so engaged the whole time and didn't need much help.
