This
flannel board set also includes a mini-book for students to make.
This mini-book pictured below is written in simple, emergent
level reading to help students learn important facts about our
first president. The pictures in the flannel board set
match the pictures in the student mini-book. The student mini-book is
available as a download that you can print. The mini-book
pictured below is a bit distorted, but the PDF file that you
will receive is clear and easy to copy for use in your classroom.
$20 includes both the flannel board set and student mini-book.

Cherry Tree Art
We use this same idea to make Washington's cherry tree. This one
doesn't have any cherries! The tree trunk was painted with tempera.
The tree was made using small strips of newspaper that were rolled into a
small ball---like a spitball and glued onto the paper. This took a
long time to make lots and lots of small balls of wadded up newspaper!
You might want to do it in a couple of sessions. The tree was
painted green and details added with crayons. The rolled up balls of
newspaper add some texture to the art work!
George Washington $$$
This
looks like a real one dollar bill, but it was an oversized bill that I
bought at the teacher's supply store to work on money. It's fun to
have the students write a story about what they would do with one
dollar...or $100. We bind the stories and put bills on the
cover...copies of bills!
