| President's Day USA |
Two other U.S. Presidents were born in the month of February as well. William
Harrison (9th President of the USA) was born on February 9, 1773 and Ronald
Reagan )40th President of the USA) was born on February 6, 1911.
Here are some fun ways to weave learning about U.S. presidents into your
homeschool days this week - or whenever your kids express an interest in finding
out more about the presidents.
LANGUAGE ARTS
POTUS (Presidents Of The United States) - is a feature of the Internet Public Library
that provides information on U. S. Presidents. Read biographies and historical
documents online, listen to audio files and watch video clips, get detailed
information about election results, cabinet members, notable events, and enjoy
some trivia. There is material here that is appropriate for a variety of age/grade
ranges from about mid- elementary through high school and beyond. As always,
parents should preview the material to determine suitability of content.
Presidential Word Fun - At the top of a blank, lined piece of paper, write the
word, "President." Challenge your kids to make as many words out of that word as
they can. (For example: resident, side, dent, net, sent, etc.) You can do the same
with the names, "George Washington" and "Abraham Lincoln."
