    2. A fact that surprised me was that George Washington changed his birthday because I don't know of anyone who has or would want to change his or her birthday.
    3. A fact that I got correct was that John Adams was the first president to stay in the white house. The movie about John Adams made me remember this and Mrs. Woerner repeated it once or twice after the movie.

    2. Choose one fact that surprised you and describe why it made an impression on you.

    George Washington had to change his name, i thought it was a little weird that he had to change it. It made more sense once i read that they changed from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar.

    3. Choose one fact that your were able to respond correctly (because it was something you learned this year in Social Studies class or lab) and why you remember.

    The one about John Adams being the first person to live in the White House. I remembered it from the movie we watched on John Adams.

  20. My score was 10/20, I am a Daughter of Liberty.
    The one fact that surprised me was that George Washington had to change his Birthday, just because the calender changed. I think it'd be funny to celebrate your Birthday one year on the 11th, then the next 10 days afterwards! One of the questions I got right was that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4th, 1826; the 50th anniversary of the signing of The Constitution. We learned that this year in S.S.

    2. Choose one fact that surprised you and describe why it made an impression on you.That George Washington Liked to play cards, go fish hunting,dancing and watching horses race. It made an impression because it makes him seem like a real person and not just a powerful man. It makes him seem like he can have fun and enjoy other things besides ruling our nation. Also it makes him seem more like a sutible person to have as our president.

    3. Choose one fact that your were able to respond correctly (because it was something you learned this year in Social Studies class or lab) and why you remembered it. I remember that John Adam's was the first president to live in the white house and also, that when he first moved there the house was still under construction and it was also messy. I remember this because of the John Adams movie that we watched. I remember watching the slaves caring things in and how messy it was. also that he was mad at how messy it was.
