Our President's day party was a blast! Lots of red, white, and blue... sparklers, balloons, homemade flags, and a fruit pizza made to look like our flag complete with strawberries and blueberries. They asked some great questions about our presidents and made some good comments. When George Washington's picture went up, one boy asked, "Is that Beethoven?" (impressive that he would know who Beethoven was!). Another boy said, "Hey! Aren't those the guys that are on the big rock?" meaning Mt. Rushmore. He had been there and wore his Junior Ranger souvenir for our party. They also remembered some important facts about what these men did for our country.
We learned a little about voting. The children took a little time to decide which classmate they would vote for to be president. One child asked, "Can I vote for myself?" Absolutely!! :)
We looked at each state in our nation and learned that there is one star for each state on our flag. Even though there are 50 different states, we're all part of one big team.
I'm proud and feel blessed to be part of this great team. And I love my little teammates that I play with during the week! Have a wonderful 3 day weekend. Enjoy some rest and sleep in time with your babies!
