abraham lincoln.

We're doing a unit about presidents in Social Studies right now.

Today we learned a little bit about Abraham Lincoln.

At dismissal today, one of our second grade teachers was talking to one of my girls about what she learned in kindergarten today.

The little girl told her she learned that Abraham Lincoln died.

Then, to see how much she remembered, I said, "How did he die?"

 This was her response:
"Well he went to the movie theater, and he was watching tv. Then there was this guy who really hated him, so he sneekedted up behind Abraham Lincoln and shooted him in the head!"

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the story of Lincoln's assassination, told in the words of a 5 year old. :)
