I read "Celebrating Presidents' Day--What is a President?" We discussed some characteristics of the job and how these could relate to our lives: *being a leader *being a problem solver *being a teacher and *being a decision maker. We discussed Washington D.C. and the White House. I then read "George Washington," with the focus on his being the first president of the United States of America and gaining our independence from England. We then found Washington's picture on a dollar bill and on a quarter. Washington often wore a three-cornered hat. Analise began making her own three-cornered hat.
