Abraham Lincoln Ideas
Abe Lincoln
Story and Student Mini-Book Set
This
flannel board set 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
16th president. This is a great activity with the flannel
board pictures to match the student version of the book on
Abraham Lincoln. 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
receive is clear and easy to copy for use in your classroom.
$20 includes both the flannel board set and student mini-book.
This
photo is a sample of the September Block. See below for information on
how
to make the Lincoln or Cupid Block for February!
I
have had so many requests for special directions and patterns for the
"Monthly Blocks" that I am going to be making these available to those who
are interested in purchasing this resource. You will be provided with
full colored pictures, patterns and detailed directions. There is a
different character for each of the months from September through May.
An on line link will be
provided to access the directions and patterns. Please make sure you
provide the correct email address for me to be able to send you this link.
There are no shipping charges since this is a digital link. You will
be able to start your projects as soon as you receive this link.
The blocks
that the children make use a 2x4x6 inch piece of wood. They last forever
and will be a family treasure for many, many years to come. Many parents
tell me that they still have all of the blocks and use them each year!
You could also use these blocks for your Cub Scouts or Brownies. The
whole year of crafts!

The children are always so interested in
learning about Abe Lincoln.
We read lots of great books about his life and
what he believed in. It is an great opportunity to teach values!

the photos.
Lincoln Silhouette
This a two part project. The
children were given a 12x18 piece of white construction paper. We
made the slits for the weaving for them. Then they used red and blue
strips of paper to weave in and out. The strips were about one inch
wide and 12 inches long. Then we gave them a silhouette of Lincoln
traced onto a black piece of construction paper. Then the silhouette
was glued on top of the checkerboard weaving paper.
Abe Lincoln Quilt
I am not sure where I found the pattern or idea for this quilt. It
was made with two different squares.
This
is the pattern that I used to make the pieced square. We used red
and blue on a white paper to make the pattern. The squares are one
inch and the two triangles fit together to make a one inch square.
A penny with Lincoln's head is glued in the center where the number is
located. The black silhouette of Lincoln was mounted on a red square of
construction paper. Both squares were 6 inches.
Lincoln Finger Puppet
We used this pattern to make our finger puppets for Lincoln. The
child's fingers fit through the holes to make his legs. CUTE!
I apologize for the poor copy of this pattern. It is the only one
that I have at home. There is another finger puppet of
Washington that is posted on the Washington page.
Cleaning
Pennies
We did these experiments in a small
group with an adult to see which one cleaned the pennies better.
3 T of Vinegar and 1 T of salt
3 T of Baking Soda
3 T of Vinegar only
We used the pennies to make the
medallions pictured above.
For a better scientific explanation and other
ideas, please click on the picture of the penny!
