Today we did a quick experiment using pennies . We talked about the fact that Abraham Lincoln is on the penny. I posed the question “Why are some pennies darker and some shiny?” The students suggested lots of ideas. I then asked how they thought we could try to clean the pennies. We set up stations around the room using the suggested ways: water, soap and water, water and salt, and I suggested the magic recipe of vinegar and salt I found on this great site: Experiment Directions at mom2poshlildivas
I love to use Nook Kids when I want a book instantly!!! It’s a free app and then you purchase the books. I decided to read this book during our Read Aloud with Accountable Talk Time.
We also used the free printable packet found at this link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Presidents-Day-PowerPoint-Presentation-FREE-1093793 along with our Scholastic News. Oh... and I had a student who brought in an awesome CD with Presidential Songs!!
