Abe Lincoln

Learning about Presidents has been a lot of fun. This week we took a look at Abe Lincoln.  We began by sharing what we knew about him. Then we listed what we were wondering about him.  Here is what we were wondering:
What did his hair look like?
What did he wear?
Why did he have a beard?
Did he get married?
What did he like in school?
Did he have children?
Did he have problems with his teeth?
Did he wear slippers?
What was his first job?
Has he died and how did he die?

We spent some time reading biographies about Abe Lincoln and watched a Brain Pop Jr. movie.

Here is what we learned the Penguins said they learned:
His hair was black.
He wore a black suit.
A girl sent him a note saying he would look better with a beard, so he grew one.
He liked to read.
He married Mary.
He is on the 5 dollar bill.
He worked in a store.
He was shot.
Of course we had the most fun when marked how tall he was on the floor.  Then checked to see if any of us were as tall as he was.

While none of us were as tall as Abe Lincoln.  Mr. Greer was the closest!
