My grandson is in kindergarten and he just turned 6 years old...

He knows the first 27 United States Presidents. He can say all their names and in order...

I have to admit...I can't do it myself...

Do you know all the United States President's names...in order?

Feona1962, thumbup for your grandson, only 6 years old already can say out the names of 27 United States Presidents in correct order. My nephew already at primary year two and he is 8 years old this year but sad to say he know non of the name of our Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Hi asimo...Thank you.

That is okay that your nephew doesn't know..

I was so surprised that they were teaching this already in Kindergarten..

That is great Feona. I couldn't name them myself. As I age I find that CRS is taking control of my mind that coupled with the blonde moments. I am sure that if I were to memorize them for a few days I could do it. But, who has the time for such trivial things? Kids are like sponges, they absorb information easily. My sponge needs a good wringing out.


myLot reputation of 87/100. Feona1962 (2794)   ranked 2 out of 262 in education  4 months ago

Thank you. He really surprised me when I picked him up one day and he said all 27 of them..He does know George Bush is The President now and that George Sr. is his father..So he really knows 29 Presidents..

His 4 year old brother is saying them too!

You better wring out that sponge and start soaking up some knowledge..LOL

myLot reputation of 87/100. Feona1962 (2794)   ranked 2 out of 262 in education  4 months ago

Thank you..We went shopping the other day and he saw the President's on a place mat..He says, "Wow, I need this grama!" I told him he could have it and he started saying their names while we were walking through the store...

His 4 year old brother had to have the place mat with the Planets on it..

That's awesome for such a young lad!

I'd be hard pressed to come up with 27 names period, much less in order.

That's one thing that wasn't stressed in my grade school. I don't think we ever memorized them, which is sad.


myLot reputation of 94/100. goodhappens (346)  4 months ago

I'm with you on that, and I really dont think we had to memorize them either, especially not in order, or it could just be time has past and I forgot that timeperiod.


myLot reputation of 87/100. Feona1962 (2794)   ranked 2 out of 262 in education  4 months ago

Thank you..I am so proud of him and he is so proud of himself..When I think of the President's, I think of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, J. F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan, and that is about it...I don't ever remember learning them this way in school..

Now they are learning their ABC's and the Presidents in Kindergarten...Wow!!

Your grandson must be a genius! If he can memorize names of presidents in order, he'll be able to do lots more, like countries or states and their capitals.

One thing about being young is the brain is like a sponge, it can take so much information. It also depends on how the brain is trained. I remember when I was in grade school, I could get 100% on tests that required memorization. As we grow old, there is so much clatters and dead brain cells that remembering directions become too arduous! LOL! CHeers!


myLot reputation of 87/100. Feona1962 (2794)   ranked 2 out of 262 in education  4 months ago

Thank you..They sure are smart...It's like they can't get enough information..They are always asking questions and wanting to learn everything they can..I think it is great..

Now is the time for all that knowledge to be absorbed and I hope it sticks with them..

His 4 yr. old brother can say the names as well..he also adds, subtracts..

What a bright little grandson you have there Feona. Even I don't know the US Presidents and don't think my son has learnt either in kindergarten. Wow is all I can say:)


myLot reputation of 87/100. Feona1962 (2794)   ranked 2 out of 262 in education  4 months ago

Thank you..I had no idea they taught this in Kindergarten until he started saying them and I was like, Wow! That is awesome...

Hi Feona:

I couldn't even do that. Your grandson is a genius and you should get him tested because he might need to go to a special school. You don't want him to get bored in a public school.

Have a great evening.

Ivor


myLot reputation of 87/100. Feona1962 (2794)   ranked 2 out of 262 in education  4 months ago

Hi Ivor, yes he and his 4 yr. old brother are very smart..

I know my son was bored with school..Before he even went to Kindergarten he said he wanted to be a Quantum Mathematician...He was only 5 at the time..I regret not having him tested..

My grandson's are very quick learners and always find several different ways to figure something out...

They thrive on learning all they can..
