I think I would make a great president...

OK, this isn't the kind of post you might be thinking it is. I, personally, don't think that I would make a great president...OK, maybe I would (ha ha!) but this is a post by my boy who wrote this in his first grade class today. They have been studying about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln since they both have birthday's in February.

Here is Cameron's writing essay...again understand his spelling errors...

I think I would make a great President.
I am a good leader.
I would make the laws like no fighting and being bad.
I will save the corunry from bad guys.
Being president would be fun!

The other night Mike was helping Cameron do a puzzle of national monuments and buildings. Cameron pointed to the White House and said, "Is that where President Obama lives?"
Wow.
He really is learning!

100's day...


Monday was a big deal in the life of a first grader and kindergartner.

It was 100's day!!!

That means that it was the 100th day of school. Cameron had to make a hat with 100 of something on it...




Additional view...






Molly had to take 100 of something food related to share with a class snack mix. We choose fruit loops!!



Cameron brought home a book that he had made in honor of the day.
I thought it was worth sharing...please understand some of our first grade spelling errors :)


My 100 Book
by Cameron

I wish that I had 100...brothers.

I would not want 100...sisthers.

I could eat 100...meat balls.

I could never eat 100...green beans.

I can lift 100...girls.

If I had $100 I would buy...a nurf gun.

On the first day of school I couldn't....read chapter books.
But on the 100th day of school I can...read chapter books.


I think not being able to eat 100 green beans is a direct shout out to Uncle Mark! Dudes have to stick together.
