Archer was out of school for Presidents Day on Monday, but the holiday was apparently big part of the curriculum this week nevertheless. On Wednesday he regaled us with about fifteen minutes of made-up songs he described as coming from a "Presidents Day CD" with forty tracks. The songs had various rhythms and tempi, but contained a few basic facts: (1) The first president was George Washington; (2) His birthday is on February 22; (3) The sixteenth president was Abraham Lincoln; (4) His birthday is on February 12; (5) The 35th president was our youngest president; (5) He was 43; (6) He was born in 1917. (Notice how every fact has a number in it.)
Today Archer brought home his schoolwork for the week, which contained a booklet he'd filled out about being president. Here's what he wrote in answer to the question:
If I were president of the United State for one day, I would ...
be 35 years old for 1 more day. I would have a birthday on 8/19/2001. Now it is 8/18/2001.Birthday Name President #09/30/2007 Prenti 0329502711/30/1809 Mane 0000000001/30/1111 G. Mouse 17050201
