Presidents’ Day is coming up and we’re getting ready by doing some great Presidents’ Day projects in the classroom. Try out this Putting Together Abraham Lincoln project for kindergarten through 3rd grade students. We created mini books in the shape of President, Abraham Lincoln’s face. How fun is that? We paired history with this fun project by adding fun facts behind it. Here are the step-by-step instructions.
