Letter from the White House
Students in Mrs. Nykerk's 2nd grade classroom wrote a letter to President Biden and received a response back!
Back in October, students in Mrs. Nykerk's 2nd-grade classroom learned about the branches of government in their Studies Weekly curriculum. When reading about the executive branch, students had a lot of questions, including "Does the president have chefs?," "What do you do during the day—do you have any chores?," and "Is it fun being the president?". All of these questions brought back a fond memory of Mrs. Nykerk's childhood, where her teacher wrote a letter to the former president, Bill Clinton. So that is exactly what her students did! They wrote a letter to President Biden, and by early January, they received a response back.
Students were so excited to learn about the president's background and to get a glimpse into life at the White House. One student even exclaimed, "Maybe one day I could be the president!" This project will definitely be a core memory for these 2nd-grade students!
