Hall of Presidents

The second grade presented the Hall of Presidents. Each student dressed as a different president. They wore a picture of that president on their lapel. When the button was pushed, they gave a memorized speech... as the president himself.

And now, without further ado, may I present to you President Andrew Johnson...


Here's the opening parade of presidents. The video I got was lousy, but you can catch a glimpse of FDR in his wheelchair (being pushed by Andrew Johnson), some of the first presidents in their white wigs, Dwight D. Eisenhower in his military fatigues, Lincoln in his top hat, Lyndon B. Johnson in his cowboy wear and Teddy Roosevelt in his rough rider clothes.

What a great idea to teach them that history. Spencer did a great job! I don't know that I could have remembered all of that myself. ;-)

He told me just the other day that he still remembers when Andrew Johnson was born and died. It really was an amazing project to watch!

Spencer, you did a great job! I'm so proud of all your hard work. When your grand mommy and I were little girls, one Halloween, we both were dressed as Martha Washington. She was Martha in a pink dress, and I was Martha in a blue dress. Your great-grandmommy made our costumes. We wore white wigs, too. Cherry Kay
