Then we went to the computer lab to type their reports into power point presentations and add their choice of illustrations.

We learned lots about presidents this week in first grade. After discussing some our presidents and learning about the requirements to be the president, the boys and girls wrote about what they would do if they were elected president. They typed their writing on Neos and then illustrated themselves in the oval office. Maybe someday we'll see one of them as the president for real.
