February 15, 2017 Story Time - Presidents & President's Day


If you missed this weeks story time here is what we did:

*marks the books we read




















Madam President  by Lane Smith*
I am Abraham Lincoln  by Brad Meltzer
Fly Guy Presents: The White House  by Tedd Arnold*
President's Day  by Helen Frost*
George Washington  by Barbara Knox

For our craft we made a picture of George Washington like this one:

Extra activities:
We talked about who some of our presidents were and where they grew up, and why we celebrate President's Day. Whose face is on our coin money (penny=Abraham Lincoln - nickel=Thomas Jefferson - dime=Franklin Roosevelt - quarter=George Washington). We also shared some of the interesting information about the White House in Tedd Arnold's "Fly Guy" book.

Five Little Pennies
Five little pennies rolled in the door
one was spent and now there are four
four little pennies belong to me
one was lost and now there are three
three little pennies put in my shoe
one bought a toy and now there are two
two little pennies sitting on my thumb
one fell off and now there is one
one little penny hot from the sun
I picked it up and now there are none!
