Timeline Activities. Once your kinders have been introduced to this important historical figure, creating a timeline of Lincoln's life offers a great way to organize and document your student's learning. Kelly over at Little Wonder's Days and Jamie of The Unlikely Homeschool share how they tackled this important project. Whether you do this as a class, in small groups, or as individuals - this activity is phenomenal for reviewing what's been presented/learned!

Writing Craftivities. Lincoln was an impressive man, both in stature and character. A model of honesty, hard work, and compassion, he is a man to be admired. We love these writing craftivities that we found over at Danielle's Place; "Following in Abraham Lincoln's Footsteps" and "Hats Off To Abraham Lincoln"! They offer a great way to wrap-up the lesson as, in order to write/dictate why they admire Abe or how they'd like to be like him, your students will have to remember what they've learned about Lincoln and make character connections.

We hope you have fun learning about Abraham Lincoln! For all of these great President's Day resources, be sure to follow the links to the full lesson posts!
