When my kids were in grade school, I would occasionally have them do “book reports” for various reasons. They were never very happy when I assigned them one, but they did do them…grudgingly. My daughter is much older now and she seems to have fond memories of doing the book reports, at least a few of them.
David and his family visited us recently in St. Louis. David and Brandie were determined to not waste a moment of the weekend and we visited many of the sites in town including the Arch. In the gift shop at the Arch they had a place mat with all the presidents on it. I purchased one, I though for me. The grand-kids made such a fuss over the place mat that I gave it to them with the stipulation they give me a book report on a president whenever their report cards came out. The tradition continues.
I am still waiting for Jordon’s report. Below is Teagan’s report.

Wow!! Teagan Lane I am so proud of you. Job well done. Love you so much.
Great job Teagan. I learned a few things about President Clinton that I did not know. When I was in Hot Springs Arkansas,I drove by his childhood home.
Clinton was one of my favorite presidents.
Keep up the nice writing.
