President Obama's Inauguration

We decided to be a part of history. The children watched and became a part of President Obama's inaguration. We talked about congress and that each state has two senators and legislative representatives of the house. The number of house representatives depends on the size of the state. The were so excited to learn that our representative for Montana, Denny Rehberg, was Dr. Henry's brother. The children then took the campaign slogan that Obama had used throughout his campaign, "We Can Change," and wrote a letter in their journals. They asked President Obama what change needed to take place in our country. They generated some pretty good ideas and change that needs to take place today.

Get your own

After studying snakes, we thought it would be a great time to invite Snakie into our classroom. The children loved holding and touching Snakie. They had lots of questions and information of their own to share.
