With video: Mini-presidents at Minot
Did you know President John Kennedy was the only president to earn a purple heart? How about James Buchanan was the only bachelor president? How about Jimmy Carter being under four feet tall?
Well Mrs. Harunk and Mrs. Snider's first-graders at Minot Elementary know all this and more.
The students dressed up as miniature versions of the 44 U.S. presidents and delivered a Hall of Presidents presentation to a cafeteria full of students, family and faculty Tuesday morning.
The presentation was the culmination of a unit where students learned about our country's leaders. Each first-grader chose a name out of a hat then dressed as that president and spoke to the crowd about his time in office. Some students even used props to illustrate their presidential knowledge.
