Presidential Apps

Happy Presidents' Day!  

February is the month we honor our presidents.  The Third Grade has begun a research report on a president.  Our librarian, Mrs. DeFrank, has gathered all the library resources for the classrooms.  Our school has an extensive collection of nonfiction books.  This research project has always been a learning adventure full of finding new facts and all the excitement to share their new knowledge.  During this month you hear a lot of "Did you know...?" around the room.

Did you know Grover Cleveland was the only president elected to two nonconsecutive terms?
Did you know that the S in Harry S Truman doesn't stand for anything?
Did you know that Dwight D. Eisenhower was the only president to serve in WWI and WWII?
Did you know that James Carter was the first president born in a hospital?

Can you name all six U.S. Presidents whose first name was James?
Can you name the four presidents born in Massachusetts?
(answers at the end of this post)

Our iPads have some FREE apps the students have been exploring.  Be sure to check them out.
