USA

Last week we had a VERY short week due to the ice. But we were able to get one day and knocked out two crafts.

Thursday morning we learned about our flag. After we made a flag and ourselves as president.

That afternoon we learned about Abe and then made him.

We learned that he:

1. Was our 16th president.

2. Lived in a log cabin.

3. Loved the outdoors.

4. Loved to read.

5. Had many jobs: wood chopper, farmer, carpenter, drove a boat and was a soldier.

6. Was a great storyteller.

7. Was tall and strong.

8. Opened a store where one day he bought a barrel that had a law book in it and it changed his life.

9. Taught himself about law by reading books and became a great lawyer.

10. Being a lawyer wasn't enough so he held several government offices to help people.

11. There is a memorial for him in Washington, DC.

 

Then the children made Abe and we documented what they learned.

They look great on the wall together.
