President's Day

I created a craft for the children to draw a picture of what they would look like if they were president and what they would do if they were president!
The students wrote things such as "I would give speeches to a lot of people" and "I would get to ride in a limo" :)


We also read books about past presidents like Abraham Lincoln as well as our current president Obama. We discussed what the president does and the importance of his job.
