When I started creating my President's Day unit, I realized I really like teaching about all our presidents. There are some really interesting facts. Here are my two favorite books for teaching this holiday:
So You Want to Be President
A classic, right? This book is *wonderful*. I loosely based my unit on this book. It has so many interesting facts. Not to mention the illustrations are beautiful.
What Presidents Are Made Of
This book is super cute and the pictures of each president are too funny. I can't wait to read this one to my kids.
Here's my President's Day Unit. Click here to get it!
Included are the patterns for my Yankee Doodle Kids:
First 3 people to name my favorite president get a free copy! Just comment below :)
**Hint: I have a Pinterest Board devoted entirely to his wife. Love, love, love her style. He's also the cutest president we have ever had. ;)
This should be super easy now!
Update: Obviously, my clues were so easy. Of course my favorite president is JFK. Although Bill Clinton is a close second. He was a terrific president, despite what happened at the end of his presidency.
Free copies go to Megan, Annie, and Team Burns Elementary. Team Burns Elementary: leave your email address and I'll send you freebie to you!
Thanks for everyone who commented! :)
Hmmmmm...I'm going to go with George Washington!

I may be Canadian, but I know that Jackie O, wife of the best US president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was a style icon!
