Wonderful Washingtons

Can I share a secret with ya'll? I love craft projects! Usually I eschew plain old crafts in favor of something more traditionally educational (Christmas and Easter being the exceptions), but sometimes I just can't help myself! And really, there are benefits to even simple craft projects: they encourage creativity, hone fine-motor skills, foster self-expression and confidence, and improve hand-eye coordination.

This week I decided we were going to pair our social studies unit about Washington and Lincoln with a good old-fashioned craft session. So without further ado, we present the most wonderful Washingtons you've ever seen!

They have really impressed me with some of their questions about the presidency and our country's history, and also with the amount of information they remember! Who knows, a future president might just be in one of these pictures! 😊
