The Father of Our Country

Last week we studied George Washington and how he became known as "The Father of Our Country". We learned many facts about his life and why he is a very important part of our country's history. Tell me one interesting fact you learned during our study and your opinion about why he was a great leader. Don't forget to give reasons to support your opinion....why?????

As a young man, George Washington was a surveyor who measured land. Soon he became a soldier for the British Army like his older brother. I think George Washington was a great leader because he didn't let his army give up even when they were cold and hungry.

When George was a young boy he grew up on a farm called Farry Farm.His older brother named Larence was a soldier.So when George grew up he became a soldier too.Larence got sick and George took Larence to a island called Barbaso.When they got there George got a desse called the smallpocks.Then George got better and Larence his older brother got even worse.Then he just died.He was a good leader because he never gave up war even when they were very cold and was starving a buch.
