This Google Slide resource is perfect to help students celebrate and complete activities about DAD!

The resource begins with an interview with dad.

The following slides provides a guideline for them to use to write a paragraph about the interview with their dad.

Students will then have fun making predictions about what their dad would do...if they had a day to themselves, could go on vacation, found a puppy and more.  I like to encourage them to check their responses with their dad.  Were they correct?

Next students are asked to use a number of adjectives to describe their dad.  Suggestions for adjectives are provided.
