Two US Presidents

Our kindergarten class is well under way with our project. We are comparing life today to life 100 years ago. This week we are learning about our current President George W. Bush and President Theodore Roosevelt. Much of the information we have gained came from the White House website. I sent a note home to our parents encouraging them to visit the site with their children.


Several children came to school today and told me about visiting The White House website. One child told us about sharing the information with his parents that he saw on the site in class!!

Today we read a book about Teddy Roosevelt. It is a book from our school library.


Sorry, I must have put the book in the scanner crooked.

The children loved the book because it was a "chapter book". I had not intended to read it in one sitting, but they were so "into it" that we read the entire book. I am amazed at the amount of information they gained from the story. We have made a chart of facts about Teddy Roosevelt we know. We will continue to add to it.

One very interesting fact that our class learned today is the teddy bear was created and named for him. WOW! That is just about the coolest thing ever!! Imagine having something as wonderful as the teddy bear being named after you!!

Tomorrow we will be celebrating TEDDY BEAR DAY in our class as we continue our study of the 46th president!!




What a great day we will have with our teddy bears!! We will have so much more to share after tomorrow!
