Characteristics of a Good President



We spend a good part of February talking about presidents. No matter what students’ feelings are towards certain presidents (or presidential candidates), we can all agree on characteristics of a good presidents are. We spent quite a bit of time discussing how we think that presidents should and should not behave. Our list of good presidential characteristics include:
·        Honest
·        Trustworthy
·        Smart
·        Kind
·        Educated
·        Truthful
·        Generous
·        Fair
·        Hardworking
·        Open-minded


To wrap up our unit on presidents, we made an art project that allowed students to draw their own presidential portraits.
