The President Lives There

You guessed it....the White House! Ms. Isaacs' Class 1-3 is learning so much more about the White House. They started off by going on a virtual tour of the White House through the White House Historical Association's website. With each view of the different rooms they learned a little bit about the origins of the uniquely named rooms. Students are currently working in groups while they browse through non-fiction books, illustrate some of the rooms, and read through grade appropriate notes about the White House. All of their hard work will result in the creation of a non-fiction class book about the White House and a video clip of their class poem. We have started to document the process and will present it at the class celebration. Be on the lookout for a slideshow right here in our Library blog as soon as Class 1-3 finalizes their project. In the meantime here is a little trivia question:

When Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in January 1, 1863 what room was he in?
