Have students watch the inaugural events on January 20th either at school or at home if they have the day off or even up close and personal if they attend and assign this K-W-L organizer. Students complete the K(now) and
W(ant to know)prior to the inauguration and the L(earned) following the inauguration. It's a great way to learn about a very important piece of our American democracy and how we peacefully change leaders.

I have taught for 36 years at the 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade levels. Fifth grade is my first love. I teach all major subject areas. In addition to my regular classroom duties, I have taught in a Basic Skills summer school program for many years as well as taught workshops to co-workers in whole language and technology. My other duties at school include being "Teacher in Charge" and Student Council advisor.
