We celebrated Presidents Day by learning all about some of our favorite guys: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. One of the coolest things that I think we did this week was the virtual tour of Ford's Theater, where Lincoln was shot. I'm not sure why but the fact that Lincoln was assassinated is always the most interesting facts to the children and they really enjoyed seeing the place it happened at.
Two great books we read this week were : A Picture Book of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and Me.
We celebrated all week and learned so many great and interesting facts! We concluded our study with a President's themed Freaky Friday!
My favorite center for this week was the measuring Abe's Hat station. The kids measured this hat I made out of poster paper using paper clips, Popsicle sticks, and unifix cubes.
We have sooo many Math standards for this nine weeks, so Freaky Friday this week was all about incorporating Math in with our favorite presidents. The next station was working President Word Problems.

The last station was our snack station. We created log cabins using pretzel sticks. This reminded us of the place Abe Lincoln and George Washington were born.
There you have it! This week is all about Dr. Seuss... look for my next blog all about our "Seussicall" good time!
