FlutterbyMommy Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Target has presidential place mats in their Dollar Spot area right now. I figure the place mat may be a useful accessory in teaching the presidents. The presidents ar not on one side however. You do need to flip to the back as they are divided front and back.

lilbean05 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Target ALSO has flashcards of the presidents with portraits on the front and fun facts on the back. We got ours in the $1 section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 We got placemats from Walmart--then, they were 99 cents, and my little boys learned them all, and went into detail asking each other questions about them from the info on the placemat. Ours was all on one side. Greatest, most fun and cheapest way to learn the Presidents that I've ever done. The books about them were okay, but my boys loved the placemats! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsha SC Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 My 3rd grader is currently studying the US Presidents and we are using the Encyclopedia of Presidents series. They are well written and have some great pictures. Good luck. Marsha SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chai Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 My dd devours the books by Mike Venezia. Our library carries them, so I don't have to buy them all. Also, this song is fun way to learn the presidents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
