Although we did no school work today, I gathered the kids around the table for a little Presidents' Day activity. It is high time Andrew (and I) got to know some of the past US Presidents. We have been working a lot with coins in our math class, so we brought them out again this time to look at the pictures rather than work with their values.
We made some coin-rubs and found the pictures of Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Jefferson on the web just to see what the men actually looked like. Andrew loved the activity so much, he went on rubbing the coin images for both heads and tails. The best part: later in the day Andrew recognized Washington in a picture he saw. Good. He was only the fist one. There are still dozens of Presidents we will get to know in time.
