Presidents Day

1. Have children make up a schedule of their day (on what they would) if they were President.

2. Show the American Flag. Have the children describe it to you and tell you what they think it stand for. Write down what they say. Explain that it is a symbol of America, the country where they live.
3. Have the children bring something that symbolizes Patriotism.(a picture of them at a fireworks show, a patriotic teddy bear, a flag, a book, even a picture they have drawn, etc.) Parents help them finish the sentence, "This ________ is patriotic because ________."

For a snowflake pattern cut several slits up from the end of a toilet paper roll and then bend them out. Dip in paint and press on paper. Note: If you use shape scissors you get even more unique snowflakes.

For a snowflake treat try coating mini pretzels with white chocolate and then putting four together in a circle.

bring snow into the classroom, put it in the water table and let your children squirt colored water on it. The colors will mix into neat patterns.

For neat icicles, put a thick line of glue across black paper. Let the glue run down and then sprinkle glitter on it.

Give each of your children small circles cut from wax paper. Have them glue on Q-tips in the rough shape of a snowflake with all touching in a middle puddle of glue. Sprinkle glitter onto the snowflake, and then let it dry for a couple of days. When it is dry you can peel it from the paper and you have a wonderful snowflake
