We are learning about the presidents. An interesting thing about George Washington was that he only had one tooth when he became president. He liked to make sure his horses had healthy teeth. He was also very humble because he didn't want to be a king and didn't really want to be president but he did a good job. He also stopped being president after 8 years when that wasn't a law yet. He never got to live in the White House because it wasn't built yet.
