For the spring semester we each got to research a President and do a presentation. I got John Quincy Adams. He had a pet alligator, so we borrowed Uncle Shawn's alligator head. Mama helped me make John Quincy gold chocolate coins to give out and we used the alligator as a candy bowl.
The coins looked almost real, but better since they were chocolate.
Mama and I worked on a costume and a PowerPoint presentation. It took lots of practice to get ready.
All the hard work paid off! I love how my presentation turned out.
My friends weren't real sure about putting their hand in a gator's mouth, but they were brave.
This was a really fun project and I am so glad Mrs. Cowdrey let us do!
I learned so much! I still have lots of questions and one day I hope to visit Massachusetts, the birthplace of John Quincy Adams.
How did you make the beard/whiskers? What fabric did u use?
