Now that I'm signed up with Diigo I had my first week's worth of ideas. One I really like: http://www.mrallsophistory.com/fire.html, a lesson plan to use with older students but I can see a possible way to include younger students too.
I also found this site http://www.whitehousehistory.org/ click on the "American President" on the left side. They have a great song recorded there with pictures too for help with remembering our 44 presidents. I'd like my third graders to hear this song and come up with other pictures for each president. Maybe we could add this song to our "United States" song for remembering the 50 states.
There is just so much out there I could spend all day online.

So I just watched the president song, much more politically correct than the Animaniacs song I usually show, and up to the present day! Do you get overwhelmed by what is out there? I certainly do! Today we had a work day and I found myself overwhelmed. I guess Diigo should narrow it down a bit?
ReplyDeleteI do get overwhelmed, and I feel so lucky when I happen onto a great site. But I think these blogs and Diigo will be a help. we'll just have to keep them up after class ends.
