FREE SOCIAL STUDIES LESSON – “Abraham Lincoln Freebie for Smartboard”

by Smart Kinder Kids

Pre-Kindergarten – 2nd Grade

Kids will have a fun and engaging time learning about Abraham Lincoln with this interactive Smartboard.

Use as an introduction, unit review or for independent practice with your students.

Simply drag and drop the correct answer into the box. Picture cues and differences in answer box sizes will help younger learners. This can also be a great opportunity to use the Smartboard markers to locate sight words within sentences, find and mark punctuation and capitalization.
