Kid Scoop digs the presidents
Today’s edition of Kid Scoop takes a look at what it takes to be a president — namely the presidents called Lincoln and Washington.
Here at Junior Dispatch, we’ve focused a lot on Abraham Lincoln in our “Life with Lincoln” feature. You can check it out by going here. The link includes plenty of videos and other activities for you to do on your upcoming day off of school.
As for George Washington, we like him too — He’s our first president after all!
In fact, you can read his life story here at Project Gutenberg.
You can learn a little more about the American presidents in the videos below. Do you have a favorite? Let us know in the comments below!
