Students in Mrs. Mellendorf's first-grade class enjoyed learning about President's Day. They read books and watched videos about the presidents, learned facts about the White House, and discussed what they could do if they were the president themselves. They had fun completing this White House activity where they chose someone to become their vice president and came up with a new law for our country/school. Look at these future leaders!!
