After studying George & Abe for the last two weeks, we created the presidents to display with our writing. I found this George Washington craft on Mrs. Carroll's blog The First Grade Parade and just had to try it out. They are adorable! The students brainstormed things they learned from the various stories we read {fiction and non-fiction} and each wrote a sentence or two of their choosing...with a little encouragement from me for them to come up with original ideas. ;)
"George Washington had hippo teeth because he lost all of his teeth."
"George Washington was a leader in the war."
Ta-da! Our papers are in Lincoln's hat too!
