President's Day

We learned about the election process as we read Duck for President.  The chlidren enjoyed campaigning for their favorite farm animal.  They made posters of their animal and persuaded us to vote for them. 

Guess who won? 

Pig

We then found a stuffed animal pig and the children voted to name him Mr. Pepper.  I fixed up

a little tote bag with a couple of books and a journal and of course Mr. Pepper.  He now will be visiting each of your homes.  Have fun with Mr. Pepper!

Of course we had to learn about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. 

We also learned more about our National Symbols, especially our flag.
