President's Day Activities

We began the week by watching a short video from United Streaming about the origin of President's Day. On Wednesday we focused on President Lincoln. We read books, watched a movie, made a hat, and wrote about our 16th President.

Will, Kailea, and Talmadge working on their hats.

Our math activites all week focused on money, Lincoln and Washington.



Our Funky Food activity on Friday was Never Tell a Lie Cherry Pies. The snack was inspired by Washington's cherry tree story. We don't have a picture of the snack before it was eaten but below are Kylie and Ethan enjoying this tasty treat.




After reading a book and watching a video about President Washington, the Hounds wrote their hearts out telling what they'd learned. We were sooo impressed with their work! The next day we made paper George Washingtons to go with the writing. Stay tuned for pictures of their work displayed in the hall.
