Bulletin Board for Presidents Day

Miss Giselle and I made our bulletinboard based on President's Day. We decided that having the children within groups solve a specific riddle would encourage them to think and use their knowledge they know. We also decided that we should fill in the crossword puzzle as the class finishes so it my inform all the other groups within the class.
