"All About George" - Unit Study of George Washington




As President's Day was approaching, I had my girl make some clip art for me so I could do some worksheets that included George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.    With the clip art done, I was ready to begin....but a few things happened:

#1 -had some medical issues that kept me pretty much exhausted daily for almost 2 weeks
#2 - When I started deciding what to do  and researching, a great idea formulated that turned making a couple worksheets into making a 13 page unit study!

While researching I decided that it would be a great idea to have the kiddos research, too.  I am made this unit study to use  with my 3rd grader and 10th grader.  My 3rd grader may need a little more time with a few things, but there is plenty for my 10th grader to do and stay occupied.  I will make the writing projects longer for him.  

There are 5 sections to my unit study:
Early Years
Survey Like George
Before the Revolutionary War
The Revolutionary War
The Presidency

Each section gives you a URL site to research.  There are directions on each page to guide them.  
This is a pretty straight forward unit study with a few sections where they need to use their own words and write a few paragraphs.  

For the rest of February, I am going to give away "All About George" for FREE. 
To get this fun and interactive unit study, head over to:


Message me there and I will send the PDF file to you!    It is that simple!

Church Time Worksheets


While I was working on some worksheets months ago, I decided to try my hand at making some Church Time Worksheets.  Something my boys could use to keep still and "get through" church.  My youngest asks me 30 times "where are we" on the "Order of Service" sheet from our bulletin.  My oldest stares off into space.....alot.  So, I thought if I could make something that keeps them busy AND engaged in church it would be a WIN-WIN situation for all of us.  




Tonight I decided to make two slightly different ones so that there will be four to choose from. 




You can get any of these worksheets for FREE at my Facebook page.  You will find them in the "Church Time Sheets" Album
