Family Fun Night - Honoring Our Presidents


Introducing President Obama and his stylish wife Michelle.

Mr. Washington, our first president was the
only president to be elected unanimously.
Victoria and Nicholas spent their morning researching a president to share with the family after dinner. They wrote their notes on index cards and chose lots of fun facts. They decided to do a simple craft, so we found this finger puppet craft idea using coins with the heads of Washington and Lincoln. They started really getting into who their president was and even decided to dress up like him. At dinner, I had a white tablecloth with patriotic placemats and layed copied bills ($1, $5....) all over the table. The best part was seeing all the kids dressed up and watching Victoria and Nicholas do an amazing job on their oral reports with their chosen president.

He has his finger puppet and he says here's mini me.
