I think Washington was a good president. He wasen't just our first president he was also the army genral during the American Revilution. He married a widow named Martha Curtis.
He got a sour throut when he was 67 and it wasen't the sour thruot that killed him. Back then they didn't now how to treat illnesses and they think the doctors treatments killed him.
George Washington was a good president. He was our first one. The government asked if he wanted to be president. He said "NO we're going to have a different government than the other countries." He knew it was right to have a different government.
George went to school for 7 or 8 years. He was elected for 1 term and than got reelected a 2nd time. After his 2nd term the congress asked if he wanted to be president again, but he said,"No." He was elected from 1789-1797. This is what I learned about George Washington.
Geoge Washington was born in viginia. Then he inherated Mount Vernon from Lawrence. Then he showed up somewhere and with his homemade coat and they made him general of the army. He was best for the job.
Later the soljiers started to rebell and Washington said that he would except know payment ontill the war was over. Then the people said he should be king but he said let's not have a king like Egland does so they alected him Prisident. He was a good Prisident but after his 2nd term (8 years) hesaid he would quit and go back worcking on the farm. 2 years later he got a sore throat onfection and the docters treated it wrong and he died.
President George Washington was the country's first president of the United States. He was born February 11, 1931. At age 22 he was a General of the army. When George Washington had his inaguaration he only had one tooth.
George Washington didn't have the best army on the block but they were good enough to free us from Great Britain (also known as England). When he freed us from Great Britain he didn't just do it for the fun of it he did it so we would be free. The war that we fought against Great Britain in was called the Revolutianary War.
George Washingtons teeth were made out of other people teeth and Walrus tusk (Ew how would you like that in your mouth.). George Washington was one of the greatest and I mean greatest presidents to EVER live.
Lee- I think you ment when he was asked to be the KING, he said no. He didn't say no to being the presidnet!
George Washington was the very first president of the United States of America. That would be SO cool! When he was a boy, his family had a plantation. He only went to school for about 7-8 years. His favorite subject was arithmetic. When he was president, he had to have aimal teeth and stuff for HIS teeth. That would be really gross!
He got married to a widow named Martha Curtis and they took care of her two kids. They never had kids of their own though.
Sadly George Washing ton died because of a throat disease. Yet, some people say it was the treatment that killed him.
This week we have been talking about president George Washington. We learnd that Mr. George Washington was our first president and a lot of changes have hapend senice that time. We also learned that he fought for the Cilvil War. We also learned that he was going to inheret Mont Vernon from his half brother Lawrence.
George Washington maried a widow named Martha Curtis and they didn't have children of their own but they did have Martha's children before she was a widow. She had a boy and a girl.
Miss T.- That is what I ment.
Your right Miss T.
He became president after the war was over. He was the first person to be in war. He was the first president of the United States. He was sixteen when he moved in with his half brother Lawrence. Lawrence inherited land from George's father because he died.
Then soon George will get the land back from his half brother because he had no surviving children. Then when George got older he built his oun jacket because he wanted to be a luiteniet.
George Washington was born 1732. Later on in 1789(?) he became ther first offical president of the United States of America. The sodiers voted him in office unanamusly. Only the men in war voted. The wanted him as king because that's what they did in Endland, But President Washington said "We should have a different kind of goverment because back in England that did not work out so well".
Here are some fun facts: At his anaguration he only had ont real tooth. He wore a size 13 in shoes. He was mainly known for having no teeth (and of corse being the first president). That is all I have to say.
I learned that George Washington was the first president. I also learned the first president to fight in a war.He also made himself a uniform for the war. George Washington was elected president becouse the people from England did not want a king becouse they had a king and did not like him. They did not like him becouse he wouldnt let them use the bible or pray to GOD but George Washington would let them do that Then George Washington became sick with a sore throught.In those days the doctors did not now how to cere a sore throught so he did not make so he pased away. They say he was first in the hearnts of the peaple and first in the hearts of his coutrymen.
President George Washington was our first president of the United States.He went to school only 7 to 8 years but he tried to be a better person by doing manners and read 110 rules from a French preist.George was a kind man and he was the best man back then so the people elected him to be the first president of the U.S.The people wanted him to run a 3rd year but he said no.He married a widow named Martha Curtis they never raised children of there own Martha's children named Patsey and Jacky.Jacky died from something but I don't now how.George was a AWSOME presedent.The end Chase
What I learned about George Washington is that he volentered in to be the general in the Revouloutinary war. I also learned that George Washington was 67 when he died. George Washington was also 57 when he gotwhen he got elected president. Some people even wanted George Washington to run a third term but he said,"No".
But sadly George only got to enjoy about 2-3 years of retirement until he died of a throat infection.
Did you know that George Washington teth were fake and that's why he didn't smile? Did yo know that George Washington had a pet? I really think George Washington was a good president because of how brave he was.
George Washington was a very good president.I learned that he helped win the Civil War.He also issued that there will be no more kings and queens to rule the land.He was unanumasly voted by the people,so he became president.
His half brother Lawrence gave Mount Vernon

This week we are learning about George Washington. Did you know that when George Washington only had 1 tooth when he was doing his enogreashon?! He also took time to get off his horse and pray. He also inherrited Mout Vernen fom his brother Lawrence because Lawrence didn't have any children to inherrit it after him.
Before he was president, people wanted him to be king. But he said no to being king. He thought they needed different government than Britten. So they elected him prsident.
One thing I learned about George washington is that his wife Martha Dandridge Custis was married before he married her. Also they didn't have children of their own, but she had 2 children Patsy and Jacky. Jacky died though. I don't know how. that's what I learned about his married family life.
He stoped the reabl aginst him. Saying he would acecpt no pay until the war was over. He stoped the people in england stop asking for taxes. he worked on a farm.
He snorred really loud. He wore size 6 shoes.he always was trying to be a good guy. He was our first president!!!

George was a good president. The only thing I don't like about him is he had slaves. He was a president to lead our country. He was strong and couragious he was a good man he fought and he did every thing he could to win battles. Fun fact George only wore a size 13 shoe an he was a very loud snorrer George worked hard on his dad's plantation at mont vernon. he served two terms eight years as president. He died from a throuat thing some say it was the medicene that killed him. he was a great first president.
George Washington was a great president. He was the first president to. He once had 4 bullet holes in his coat and 2 horses shot from under him.I`m glad he was our president becaus if it was someone else they`d proubly mese up and not know what to do.
George Washington was also once a general in the army he was one of the best generals. once the coungress couldn`t pay hi soilders so he aksepted no pay untill the war was done. before he he did all that he was working at a plantation.
He wore size 13 boots. And he was a loud snorer.When he was president he wanted to go to his plantation. I think that George Washington was a great great great great great great gteat president.
We learned that on George Washington's Inaguration he olny had one tooth. He was born on February 22 ,1732. He wore a size 13 boot. He was also a very loud snorer.
He was a very lucky man or the British were just bad shots because 2 horses were shot from under him, the buttons on his shirt were shot twice, and his coat was ripped by 5 bullets. He must have prayed and thanked God a lot.
George Washington was a good president. I learned that he was the first president. And he was in the first war ever. The people that came with him to the new land wanted him to be king but he said 'no'.
In 1789 George Washington was alected president. Almost every one elected him. President George Washington servied two terms as president. He married Martha Custis. And during war he had to fight because more men where dieing. George Washing ton died of a sore throte. Some people thought that the treatment the doctors gave him killed him.
I am going to tell you some fun facks about George Washington. He was yhe 1st presedent of the U.S. He grew up on a plantation were they pick cotton out of the feald.
He made his ouwn uniform that he wore on May 11 ,1775 in front of the first contenental congeress. The people thought that he would be the best to be king but he refused the ofer to be king becouse he thought that we needed a new kind of goverment.
So they made a precedet so that the people could have ther ouwn disions. So they made apresedent that could serve termes of 4 years he reatiered after his secont terme. He died of a thore throut people think it was the tretment that killed him. I think he was a graet,coradeus,and wise I think he was a good presedent.
