White House Historical Association
 Oh how I love election season!  I love election season because it gives me great cause to dive into all things Presidential for a month.  Today, I put up the presidential timeline in the classroom and it grew quite a bit of attention.  I love the math connections that I can incorporate while teaching about the presidents.

Four years ago, I was not using objects in my classroom like I am today.  I decided today would be a fantastic time to share the White House Historical Association's collection in my classroom.  We recently learned about the Bald Eagle in the classroom and were discussing Obama ending his time in office, so I thought this piece would be fitting to share. It was important to share the color choices of the piece chosen by the First Lady to represent the colors of the blue waters of Hawaii.  I am encouraging my first graders to pay close attention to detail in their illustrations as the details give the readers more information.  

I began exploring the association's collection, but am looking forward to incorporating it even more into my room.  I encourage you to take the time to create and account and explore for yourself.
