Please share a paper craft book for the Presidents

[Trivium Academy]

We have these wonderful time period books, Hands-on History American Revolution by M. Gravois, Easy Make & Learn Colonial America by Donald Silver, etc. and we'd like something for the Presidents


Thanks!

Am I losing it, or did your post first say "French and Indian War?"

[Trivium Academy]

:lol: I opened the American Revolution book I mentioned and it has a project for the French and Indian War on page 7. DUH! :blush:

So a President one would be nice too

It's not a craft book, but one thing all my kids loved was Stuck on the Presidents. It's a coloring/sticker book with tons of interesting facts about the presidents. We learned alot.

I have it and was thinking about just putting the pages in the notebook. I'll look at it again. Thanks!

You probably have this already. It's not paper crafts just coloring pages of all the presidents.

You could make little books of the presidents... I know the big book of books has a project like that in it.... you could use pictures of the Presidents on the outside and fill the facts on the inside??

If you want to make a lap book fold.... make the fold so the President is on the outside, and facts on the inside. The year 3 classic has a President template and State template to make cards... you could then add card stock and add them to that.....

I use library pockest, well RyLee uses them *Ü* I prinnted out a book on the Presidents and she cuts the picture out... pastes it on the front of the library pocket... she then adds all the facts to a card that slide inside the pocket... basic facts, quotes, events.... famous sayings that were said about them....

Here is the book

Presidents (http://www.homeofheroes.com/presidents/index.html)

They also have facts on them, along with a picture of the Vice President and the Presidents wife.

RyLee has been working on a poem as well. I found it on one of the yahoo sites... Its pretty clever... and I found it on the web else where here ...

President Poem (http://au.answers.yahoo.com/answers2/frontend.php/question?qid=20070306194949AASZVvL&show=3)

here is a cut and paste... I still do not know who wrote it though...

George Washington leads them, the great and the true.
John Adams succeeds him and Jefferson, too.
Madison follows, and fifth comes Monroe,
with John Quincy Adams and Jackson below.

The term of Van Buren to Harrison's leads;
Tyler, Polk, Taylor, then Fillmore succeeds.
Pierce and Buchanan, and Lincoln in turn,
is followed by Johnson and Grant we discern.

Hayes, Garfield, and Arthur, and Cleveland we score.
Then, Harrison is followed by Cleveland once more.
Then, comes McKinley and the full dinner pail,
and one called "Teddy" who to Cuba, did sail.

William Taft his government began
and Woodrow Wilson, a marvelous man;
Harding, Coolidge are next in the rhyme.
Then, Hoover and the people had a very hard time.

F.D.R. was great in both peace and war;
Truman was striving for what we were fighting for.
The former General Eisenhower
brought the Republicans back to power.

John Kennedy's victory in the race
was for the New Frontier in the "Age of Space."
Lyndon Johnson led the people -- the free and the brave,
with a goal to achieve and a country to save.

Nixon swore to uphold our creed
of liberty, life and every man's need,
but by Nixon these rules were ignored.
So, to take his place was President Ford.

Then, came Carter with a cheery smile
to run our country "Southern Style."
Then, Carter's smile left his face,
and Reagan came to take his place.

"Dutch" stayed two terms, and Bush filled his station,
bringing with him a "kinder, gentler nation."
However, only one term did George H. W. Bush fill
when along came Clinton, known as Bill.

Eight years of great economic changes took place,
but Clinton's impeachment brought him disgrace.
The new millenium arrived with a close election.
The Electoral College chose George W. Bush as its Presidential selection.

G.W.'s term had barely begun when a national tragedy occured.
The terrorists' 9-11 attack on the U.S. of A. 'round the world was definitely heard.
Such barbarism brought onto our great nation
a sense that there needed to be retaliation.

It was in war with Iraq, the U.S. mightily did go
with determination that terrorism we might overthrow.
Then, through many challenging moments, the President held firm,
and he was elected for a second term
