Our day with Abe!

We love learning about Abraham Lincoln!!! My kids absolutely love him as much as I do!!! This year we read the amazing book, I am Abraham Lincoln written by Brad Metzer. We discussed about the importance of his hat and how that symbolizes him. 

Then we made a lifesize Abraham Lincoln and the kids measured him during math using nonstandard and standard units!! 

Here they are measuring him!

Then we hung him in the hallway and I took their picture with him! Look how little they are compared to him!!!

they also drew Abraham Lincoln directed drawing and then measured their Abraham Lincoln with cubes! They also took the picture they took with Abraham Lincoln and wrote about what they would do if they were friends!

We love Abraham Lincoln!!!!
