President's Day





We read many nonfiction texts about Abe Lincoln and George Washington.  Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was 6 feet 4 inches? 







We investigated each coin starting with the penny.   


We enjoyed money math centers.  




                                       





Our 3rd grade chums came and helped us count money.   








Which will clean a penny better?  Salt and water?  or Salt and vinegar?  

Vinegar and salt!
















We read George Washington's Breakfast.  We found out that George Washington ate Indian Hoe Cakes for breakfast.  We made our own version of hoe cakes.  Fried cornbread.  (Jiffy Mix)  The children loved them!




We made chefs while waiting for our hoe cakes to cook.  


We also learned that George Washington had a terrible time with his teeth.  It was a great time to learn about Dental Health!



Cute Molar craft!


I found this cute little tooth art project on pinterest.  I forgot to take a picture of ours.
