I recently had a member of the CHSH FB group ask about a Circus Lapbooking unit. She had looked everywhere (FB, Pinterest, TPT) and all she could find were a few worksheets and a whole lot of craft suggestions but not lapbook units. So I decided it was time to create one!
All About the Circus – Lapbooking Unit
Students will learn a brief history about the circus starting in Europe
and then coming to the United States. They’ll also learn the difference
between the early circus and the circus of today!
Includes: Suggested vocabulary and spelling words, a suggested reading
list, a brief history of the circus and multiple pages of templates to
create a hands-on, fun learning project!
Presidents’ Day is an American holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February. Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, it is still officially called “Washington’s Birthday” by the federal government. Traditionally celebrated on February 22—Washington’s actual day of birth—the holiday became popularly known as Presidents’ Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers. While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents’ Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents past and present.
Presidents Day is a perfect opportunity to provide your students with additional work word centered around this holiday.
