Students decide to put on a "Presidents' Day" assembly program showing the rest of the school what they learned about the presidents. They chose the four presidents on Mount Rushmore. Charlie played Abe Lincoln, and Nicholas sat at a desk and wrote just like Jefferson. Guess how Jessica portrayed the "galloping" Teddy Roosevelt. Back in Mrs. Madoff's classroom, the students conduct their own election for class president. A simple introduction to voting, and a few pertinent facts about each of the four great presidents on Rushmore are included.
