We've just started these. My kids loved the droid activity, and it was a great review of area and perimeter for 4th graders. I liked that it could be a challenge for the higher kids, and yet easy enough for the ones that struggle.

My 5th graders sponsored a "Coke" vs "Pepsi" election in the fall, and it was well received by all...my students acted as the electors and had to vote the way their sponsored class voted. Great learning lesson!

I love the cover picture with all of the President's portraits, and I think that the stamp idea is a great one. I think that for the price of $4 it might be nice to include a template that kids can use to make each part of the project. Like a portrait page with a border and a stamp template and a generic timeline that kids can fill in with their dates. Also more graphics on the Biography rubric to make it more appealing.

I would like a refund on this packet. I think these are quick and relatively easy activities, not PROJECTS as they are advertised.
Please advise.

Mrs. Kanas,
I purchased this product and love it! I'm so excited about using it. A problem I had was in the way it downloaded for me. Some of the text printed on the wrong page number. Could you possibly email this to me in some editable format? Or this may me something you can fix on your end and I could just download again.
Thanks!
