President's Day Thematic Activities for Early Learners
I still remember with fondness celebrating President’s Day at school as a child. I believe that it is of great importance to keep treasured traditions alive for the children of today. One of my memories is the song Washington and Lincoln. I am sure this song from my childhood is long out of print, but is still a great song celebrating two of our great presidents from history.
Enjoy some presidential fun!
President’s Day is always the third Monday of February. On President Day we honor George Washington (it’s his birth month), Abraham Lincoln, and all those who have served our coutry in the roll of President of the United States of America. No matter what you think of a particular president there is no denying the huge weight and responsibility that comes with that job, the secrets and security they have for life, and the fact that you can never make everyone happy.
