The United States of America celebrates Presidents’ Day on the third Monday of February each year. We honor two of America’s presidents that made enormous contributions to our nation’s rich history – George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
President’s Day is coming up! Be prepared with materials, ideas, and activities to celebrate in your homeschool! This holiday is a great way to discuss American History from its starting point and move into today’s political topics, depending on the age of your child. Use these materials to supplement your teaching and extend your children’s learning!
