with my students. My students love the non fiction
pictures!
Penny, Penny,
Easily spent,
Copper brown,
and worth one cent!
Nickel, Nickel,
thick and fat,
your worth 5 cents,
and I know that!

Little and thin,
Everyone knows that,
your worth ten!
Quarter,

Big and Bold,
You're worth 25 cents,
I am told!
Students can run for
President in our classroom! Students running for
President must create their very own campaign poster to
display in the
classroom! It is amazing how creative students get! We
vote for one President and those not voted in as President are honored with the title of Vice
President!
We have many Vice Presidents! We make this about
"opportunity" rather than
about winning and losing!

our Ballot box! We tallied all votes to see who our
classroom President would be!

playing "What Time Is It Mr. Fox." We put a fun
twist on this
game to honor our past and future Presidents!
The students
shout out "What time is it Mr. or Miss. President?"
The
President answers with a time. The students then
take that many
steps! When the President says "ELECTION" the
students
take off running back to their home base! We
make coin rubbings! I place pennies, nickels, dimes, and
quarters at our Math Center! Students rub over them with
crayons to create crayon rubbings of coins!
We
write the President of the United States!
