Thanksgiving Proclamation - Which President Said What?

As I was looking for Thanksgiving activities for students at my school to do, I noticed that there are Thanksgiving Proclamations that date back to George Washington. I decided to do Wordles of three proclamations to see if teachers and students could figure out which president gave the speech in each of the Wordles. The choices are Barack Obama, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

Here they are...

I sent a Word document that had these Wordles on it to the fourth grade teachers at my school. They are going to copy them off and put students in small groups to discuss them. When they have had enough time to talk in the groups, then the groups will report their guesses back to the class during a class discussion. Did you guess the speech givers correctly?
