To commemorate Lincoln's 200th Birthday, I read a book called "Abe Lincoln Remembers" to a bunch of 2nd graders. This was my 2nd time reading to 2nd graders as I read a book about Santa and Jesus for Christmas. Anyway, I don't know how you do it, Isaac, for those kids are ridiculous.
They were bright-they knew he was the 16th President, was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, and is on the $5 dollar bill. Some of their comments were priceless.
About War: "My great grandfather didn't fight in the Civil War, but he did fight in World War II."
About Being President: "I want to be President because I want to rule the Universe." (well, only God can do that but the president can help-i said)
About Wrestling: "When Patrick and I wrestle, I beat him all the time." "that's not true!!"
About Being Honest: "I like to read."
About Being President II: "I want to be President so I can tax people."

It takes a while with the second graders. They certainly enjoy speaking and being energetic though.
