Teaching about Presidential Elections


Marissa is studying Presidential Elections over the summer. I'm also going to do a smaller study of elections with Bethany. I am looking forward to learning myself--there are parts of the election process that I do not understand, nor remember learning about. Sorry, Mr. Michael.

Here are some websites I've found that have good information.

This blog post has some good insights about Teaching Kids about the Presidential Elections.
This site has a free Presidential Lapbook.

Well, this is what I have found for now. My plan now is to organize the information and books into a logical sequence, then plan out day to day what we will study.
