I’ve decided to turn my interactive bulletin board into an ongoing “Handmade Presidential Election Big Book”. This book includes pictures of the candidates and their running mates, mini-books on how presidents are elected, information on the US Constitution, the history of the US, “hands-on” games about past presidents, and much more. The book will not be complete until after the election because we have a section under past presidents called, “Who Will be Next?”
The worksheets my 5th grader completes about the election will also go into this big book. In the end, it will be an excellent reference book for my child to refer back to when needed. (I hate it when worksheets are tossed in the garbage!)
I’m using my scrapbooking skills to make it look a little more interesting. My son already loves the way his big book looks, and it is motivating him to learn more about presidents and current events.
