Abe Lincoln had a stovepipe hat- Lawson
He was the 16th president- Benson
His mom died when he was 10- Paige
He loved to read- Cody
He didn't want people to have slaves or tell people with different color skin what to do- Jake
He freed the slaves- Keaton
He is on a penny- Tayte

We played a matching game to learn about the presidents on the SMARTboard.


Happy Birthday Presidents!


Authors hard at work!






We had a practice lock down to keep us safe.


We used up our valentine hearts by building color graphs.
