Over Spring Break, I ...Dear Mrs. Ranney and Class,<br /><br />Over Spring Break, I went to the George Washington exhibit at The Ronald Reagan Library. We learned so many facts about him, my mom did not even know those facts!<br /><br />I even took the Oath Of Office and saw a set of his dentures. They were made out of hippopatamus ivory and real human teeth (not wood, like most people think!). We also watched a video on how they created the exhibit and how they made the mannequins of George. It was so amazing!<br /><br />George Washington and his wife, Martha, didn't have any children of their own, but she had some from a previous marriage. <br /><br />If you have not seen it I recumend going befor it goes on May 22nd.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />HayleyHayley♥noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879184421580483050.post-11163079609327583302012-03-22T07:47:32.446-07:002012-03-22T07:47:32.446-07:00Dear Class,
Josh and I went to the Ronald Reagan ...Dear Class,<br /><br />Josh and I went to the Ronald Reagan Library on Sunday. First, we checked out some Reagan facts. Then, at the very end of our visit, we went to the George Washington exhibit. We saw many pictures of George Washington. We saw a big diagram of Mount Vernon. Also, we saw life size figure of George Washington taking the oath to become President. I can't wait to back again to see the next exhibit.<br /><br />Your Classmate,<br />AndrewAndrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879184421580483050.post-69498183828987395812012-03-20T07:42:30.251-07:002012-03-20T07:42:30.251-07:00@Michael,
It is wonderful that you and your family...@Michael,<br />It is wonderful that you and your family visit the Reagan Library regularly! I hope you'll have an opportunity to see the Washington exhibit!<br /><br />I have not been there for Colonial Days.

I am so glad that you and Andrew were able...@Josh, <br />I am so glad that you and Andrew were able to visit the Washington exhibit! I thought his dentures were pretty interesting too. There has been so much published over the years about Washington having wooden teeth, so it was especially <b>fascinating</b> to find out that is not what they were made from at all!<br /><br />What did you learn from watching the video about the Revolutionary War? How about sharing some facts about it here?<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing your photos!<br /><br />Huzzah!

My family and I visit...Dear Mrs. Ranney and Class,<br /><br />My family and I visit the Ronald Reagan Library a few times of year. Our favorite day is Colonial Days! In 1787 At the Constitution Convention, George Washington was unanimously chosen as president. He was a very honest man and loved by all. Here is a famous quote from our fearless leader!<br />"I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is the best policy."<br /><br />– George Washington <br /><br />MichaelMichaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879184421580483050.post-82654654748965917282012-03-19T15:04:30.091-07:002012-03-19T15:04:30.091-07:00Dear Mrs. Ranney and Class,
