I just added USA Printables the Presidents to my “Presidents for Kids” LiveBinder because of the massive amount of quality coloring pages they have for the Presidents of the United States including Barack Obama. Each coloring page has a description below it (not on the page) describing the presidential moment. These could be turned into booklets in many different combinations.

I just found a treasure trove of printables to add to my “America: Fifty Nifty States” LiveBinder. School Express has very nice worksheets for every state that students could use to create a nice booklet. Each state has aprox. 12 color worksheets that could easily be printed in black and white. They also have over 30 worksheet about the states as a group. Really nice find.

Learning Games for Kids has customized games for every state. This is a really nice collection of games featuring vocabulary and other details unique to each state. Above you will find a screenshot of the layout and games available for each state using Hawaii as an example.

From the site: “Learning about your state’s symbols is a right of passage for all upper elementary kids. Remembering your state flower, your state bird, your state tree, your state motto and even nickname can be difficult, but learning with online games can make it much easier and much more fun! Playing games is something kids love to do, even if they end up learning something along the way.”

…and I’m sure they will using these educational tools from Learning Games for Kids.

I’m adding this to my LiveBinder “America: Fifty Nifty States” under the games and interactives tab.

Today I added to my “Phonics and more” and “America: Fifty Nifty States” LiveBinders. I love filling up my LiveBinders with resources that I can use and share with others.

I started the phonics binder earlier in the year because I taught a reading group of 2nd grade emergent non-readers and being the art teacher I didn’t have very many materials to work with. Well…as of a couple of weeks ago nearly half our school classrooms were regrouped and I no longer teach reading. I am now testing students prior to their IEP conferences as well as starting up my Poetry Club again. I sure do miss those second graders but I still see them for weekly art classes and of course I will be testing them. At a school like mine you have to be very flexible.

I started my America: Fifty Nifty States” binder recently because in recent years our school has had an “United States Day”. I wanted to supply the classroom teachers with resources to help their students prepare for the big day. Well…little did I know (until yesterday) that we are not having a United States Day but instead we are having an “International Day”. So now it’s back to the LiveBinder drawing board finding resources for “International Day”. Like I said at my school you have to be flexible.

Long story short…No need to worry…I will continue updating these binders and they will remain public. I am happy to see that fellow educators can use them and who knows I may teach second grade reading again and next year we may be back to “United States Day”. This time because of LiveBinders I will be prepared for both!
