I’m creating an Election Day theme unit for my fifth-grade son. I found an outstanding Web site that you need to check out if you’re also teaching presidential elections. The Web site is Electing a President for Kids.

I’m also creating an interactive bulletin board that has a book about the presidents (which is something that my child put together last year), a timeline about the history of our country, and other books about electing a president.

If anyone has other ideas for an Election Day theme unit I’d love to hear from you!

***Update*** I’ve decided to turn my interactive bulletin board into an ongoing “Handmade Presidential Election Big Book”.

***Update 2*** Here is my Political Election Theme Outline.
