US Presidents on the Internet
Do you know why George Washington is never smiling in portraits? (Would you smile if your false teeth were made out of cow's tooth, hippopotamus ivory, metal, and springs?) Did you know that President Ulysses S. Grant once received a speeding ticket while driving his team of horses in Washington, D.C.? Kathryn Prellwitz's fifth-grade students at South Beaver Dam Elementary School (Beaver Dam, Wisconsin) know those facts and many more about the U.S. Presidents. In fact, those kids have used their vast presidential knowledge to create a wonderful Internet resource!
