President's Day

President's Day is held each year on the third Monday in February. It was established to honor George Washington, our first president,  and Abraham Lincoln, our sixteenth president. Barack Obama is our 44th president.

Check out these secrets about our Presidents. After finding out about some of their secrets, write a sentence about which secret you found most interesting and why!


Here is my example:

I discovered that Chester Arthur really liked to fish for salmon. I found that interesting because salmon is my favorite fish.

  5. I discovered that Thomas Jefferson's
    Admirers once sent him a 1,235-pound block of cheese, with a note that read: "The greatest cheese in America for the greatest man in America." I liked this because I thought that would be a lot of cheese for one man.
    I could never imagine eating all that cheese I think that if I ate all that cheese I would get sick.

  7. One of the presidents is William Howard Taft he was the 27th presidents. One of his secrets is that people called him pleasantly plump! I would not like to be called that at all. When Taft was elected as president he weighed 332 pounds. He said that that was over a baby elephant weight! I'm glad I am not someone that was called mean names like pleasantly plump like William Howard Taft was! That is William Howard Taft's secrets.

  12. The president I did is James A. Garfield. It's sad he got shot in the back and the doctors tried to pull out the bullet but they never found it. Eighty days after he died. :( I picked James because he was an even number (20) and I never herd about him and his history.

  14. I can not believe that admirers would send a block of cheese that is over 1,000 pounds to Thomas Jefferson. I wonder how long it took for him to eat all the cheese, I wonder if it took him years. But I think those admirers were kind to write that note witch said the "greatest cheese in America for the greatest man in America." I think that made Thomas Jefferson's heart feel warm.

  15. I am doing Andrew Jackson the 7th president. Andrew Jackson's had a pet pet parrot, Poll,Poll could whistle and even talk, but sometimes the bird wasn't exactly polite. Old Poll had to be taken away from Andrew Jackson's funeral service because she was saying bad words.Maybe she just missed Andrew Jackson? I like Andrew Jackson because in one of his paintings he is waring a blanket or something.

  16. One of the presidents is John F. Kennedy. He was our 35th presidents. He took dips in the White House pool to warm up and I go into my cosines pool to cool off in the summer time. My cosines pool has no cover/roof over top of it. I wonder if the pool at the White House has a cover/roof over top of it? I learn a lot about John F. Kennedy.
