Last week we researched several things but our focus was on our sixteenth president, Abraham Lincoln. We studied the penny and determined its worth. We studied about his childhood and about all his accomplishments before and after he became our president. Did you know that President Lincoln never was elected to the Senate? We made Lincoln Log cabins with sticks and with paper....what a glue mess! We learned a lot about our history and a little bit about our nations history.
We also studied other sons of liberty by reading the book John, Paul, George and Ben. We learned the differences between fact and opinion. Did you know the story about George Washington chopping down the cherry tree is actually a fable? It was a story developed to teach children about honesty. Ironic right?
Remember to keep reading this week as we participate in Read Across America and study Dr. Suess. More later.....
