Presidents Day: The First Five Presidents

As most Presidents Day material focusses on Washington and Lincoln I thought I would do something a little different so I wrote about the first five presidents of the USA. This was written with an elementary classroom in mind. There are hand movements for each president, however, I didn't get them on to the video.
If you use it in your classroom tell me how it goes. If you want to use it commercially contact me first please. (unemployed elementary teacher here)
This was done as course work for the MTA course, part of the EMDT course, at Full Sail University Florida (online).

I just looked at the statistics on this song today and I can't believe that in the last seven days this video has been viewed in classrooms in 44 states! You inspire me. Watch this space for more to come.
