Presidents & the White House
 

We learned about presidents this week through a variety of activities...

We learned about George Washington.  Do you like our hats?

We also learned about Abraham Lincoln.  Here we are doing a Penny Toss game.

Because there are presidents on our money, we are learning about money this week.  We found that Mrs. Brockhaus' pennies were very dirty so we decided to clean them.  Here are some of the things that we soaked the pennies in.

All good scientists make predictions.  Here are our predictions about which substance will clean  our pennies the best.

Ketchup worked great!

Look...one pattern, two presidents!

Once our money was clean we could study the coins.

Here are some of our observations.

We even studied larger bills.  Did you know that there's a key on our money?
Ask your favorite "K" Kid what else he/she discovered.
