Fact vs. Opinion

Do you know the difference?  A FACT can be proven and it is true.  An OPINION cannot be proven and is only true to the person who says the opinion along with whoever else wants to believe it.  I agree that some people's opinion are true (according to me) but others may disagree.  We all agree that facts are true.  If you don't believe it, we will prove it.

 Try to determine if the following is a fact or an opinion...

 Barack Obama is our current President of the United States.  Fact or opinion?

 Mrs. Klumper is good at basketball.

 Emma Kirlin talks too much.  (Sorry, Emma.  This isn't necessarily true.  Oops!  That was a hint.)

 There are 365 days in a year.

 There is something to be thankful about each day you are alive.
