It’s time for the Wednesday Website suggestion!! For two years, I was the Technology Specialist at a school in Georgia. During that time, I amassed a large collection of websites that I use with my students. If you want to search through some of them, you can check out my IKeepBookmarks site. Or, you can check back here each week for the Wednesday Website suggestion.
***Sorry our Wednesday Website suggestion is a day late. We are preparing for Eid al Adha around here and I somehow missed posting this yesterday. If you’d like to teach your kids about Eid al Adha, feel free to download my free Muslim Holiday Packet. ***
Now, on to this week’s suggestion -
With the US election coming soon, this is a great time to research past presidents. Here are some great websites for kids to use when conducting their research.
This great website, the National Portrait Gallery, is run by the Smithsonian and provides good quality information on each president from George Washington to William Clinton.
On the White House’s Website, there is a page devoted solely to biographies of all of the presidents up to and including the current president, Barrak Obama. The biographies on this site are very complete, but they are also quite long and can be complicated for younger students and weaker readers.
The Miller Center, a part of the University of Virginia, runs this great site that has a Reference page covering all of the presidents from George Washington to our current president, Barrak Obama. The biographies give quick fast and are short and sweet, which is easier for younger students and weaker readers when they are doing research.
Feel free to grab this project matrix for your students to work on while using these websites. It is free from Google Docs.
Enjoy the rest of your week and Eid Mubarak to those who celebrate!
