Happy Birthday Abraham Lincoln!

We celebrated Abraham Lincoln's birthday by conducting a penny experiment. We started out with some "dirty" pennies and then placed them in a cup of vinegar with a teaspoon of salt. We patiently waited 10 minutes...and...TA DA! Our pennies came out nice and clean! What a cool experiment! We then made Abraham Lincoln's log cabin out of pretzel sticks and put our new shiny penny in the window. We ended our day by reading a book by one of our favorite authors, Jan Brett. In The Hat a mischievous little hedgehog, "Hedgie" gets stuck in what he thinks is a hat. We enjoyed making our own Hedgie the Hedgehog Hats to complete our exciting day.
