I didn’t have any Fourth of July stories  so I’m going with George Washington – hey, he’s patriotic, right? On Presidents’ Day I like to ask my older students  (the fours and fives) if they know who George Washington was. The answers are always entertaining.

Me: Does anyone know who George Washington was?

Child: I saw him at McDonald’s!

Child: He’s on money!

Child: He’s the father of America!

Child: Obama!
