Presidents

John brings home a lot of projects and worksheets.  I don't always get to review them on a daily basis.  As I cleaned out his book bag today, I found the picture to the left of George Washington.  I asked John if he knew who he was.  John replied, "George Washington."  I asked him if he knew why George Washington was so famous.  He said, "because he is on a coin."  Yes, John he is on a coin, but that's not what makes him so special.  He gave me a blank stare.  I said, well I know why he is so special.  He said, "mommy, tell me."  I said, George Washington was the first president of the United States.  John quickly replied "yeah, I know that!"
