Who is your President?

Hannah and Cameron 

In preparation for the upcoming election, Room 5ers each selected a past-president to do a poster on.

We've gone to the computer lab to do our research...plus we have a couple of books on the presidents and one on the First Ladies in the classroom to use.
 David

Each student was given a list of websites with information on the presidents.  Some of the information they are finding includes:  What was the dates this president served?  What numbered president was he?  Who did he run against?  How many popular votes...and how many electoral votes did he receive in comparison to his opponent?  What are some facts about his presidency?  Who was his First Lady?  What are some of the things she did as First Lady?  Did they have children? 
 Jason

We also are looking for what the president's salary was...did he have any nicknames...any pets? 
Isabella

What was the president's early life like?  What kind of education did he have?
 Hannah...looking super-excited! (just kidding!)

What political party did he belong to?   When you come into Room 5, look up on our President's bulletin board at our posters.
 After having her question answered, Hannah was back to work!

We're definitely learning a lot about our presidents!
