Presidents

We do circle time every day. One day I was cooking dinner and heard the kids doing it by themselves.

We don't just talk about the calendar and weather though. We also talk about current or upcoming holidays. This means we have been talking a lot about (and reading about) U.S. Presidents. Here are some of the things I overheard:
 
"George Washingmachine was the first President here." Sweet Son.

"Abe Lincoln said, 'no more selling people' when he was President." Sweet Daughter. I guess that's how she understands the end of slavery.

Fairly close for a couple of two year olds! It's so interesting to hear their interpretation of learning about Presidents. I love hearing them put these concepts into their own words and seeing them teach each other is a great way of observing their level of understanding these concepts.
