Abraham Lincoln

For the past two weeks I have been learning as much as I can about President Lincoln.  In a few weeks I need to present information about the president to my classroom.  The 4 kindergartners each got assigned a president (Brett got Washington, Leah got Kennedy, Edward got FDR).  Each week we have to write down information about the president and then at the end of the 4 weeks we are supposed to dress up like the president and teach the class about them.  The 4 homework assignments were: 1) Who am I?  2) When did I live? 3) What am I known for? 4) Where can you see me now?

I have been all over DC to learn more about President Lincoln.  I have been to Ford's theater where he was shot, the Peterson house where he died and the Soldier's home where he lived while president during the summer months.  I still have not gone to the Lincoln memorial, but I plan on it soon!

Florida Vacation

I am half way through my fun Florida vacation so I wanted to update you with my adventures!  I still have 3 more days here to have more fun!
 
 
I toured a chocolate factory with Nana, and got to eat lots of chocolate!

I walked around downtown St. Augustine, checking out pirate museums and the oldest schoolhouse in Florida

I explored Fort Matanzas, where the Spanish protected Florida from invaders like the French.  I even watched a real cannon fire from the fort.  Cannons can shoot up to 3 miles away!

I played in the ocean and built sand castles

I played with my Grandfather

I played lots of Minecraft with my cousins while they were still here

I explored St. Augustine with my cousins
