Thanks so much, Lyn. There’s lots of great related vidoes when you go to YouTube to view that clip, too. I love the Animaniacs!
We didn’t do anything for Presidents’ Day this year – we are still very light on history. I am thinking of adding it next year when we do more on the United States. I am sure that I will have a lot to learn then
