Washington and Lincoln
Somewhere | heard this poem
about Washington and Lincoln:
Washington and Lincoln,
Both were kind and true,
We sing your praises today
AS we honor youl
We like to honor Washington and
Lincoln. Washington's birthday is
February %. Lincoln's birthday is

George Washington
George Washington was born on
February %, 1892, on a plantation
in Virginia. George had three
younger brothers, Sam, Charles and
John, and one sister named Betty.
She looked and acted very much
like George. George also had two
other brothers, Lawrence and Aus
tin. They were away at school.
When George first went to school
he learned to write with pen, but
he could not spell at all. When
George got older, he learned to be a
surveyor and he was very good at
this.
Soon after George had helped
survey a large strip of land for
Lord Fairfax, he went away to the
French and Indian War.
A few years after that. the RevO-
lutionary War started. The people
of our country made George Wash
ington the general of the United
States Army.
After the war was over George
Washington was made our first
President.

Starfish have five legs. On the
legs there are suckers. Sometimes
a leg breaks OFF and it grows a new
leg. / found one that had a new
leg growing on it. The starfish has
only one eye. They live in warm
water.
