For Kids The ancient Greeks loved heroes. The word "hero" comes from the Greeks. In the United States, we honor several of our heroes in February. One day in February was originally put aside to honor two of our presidents with birthdays in February - George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.  This holiday has grown to include all our presidents. We call this day Presidents' Day.  White House for Kids - Presidents Day Portrait for Kids (George Washington Interactive) George Washington Life of Abraham Lincoln (written by kids)  Abraham Lincoln  Learn About All The American Presidents For Teachers  The Complete Teacher's Guide George Washington - Lesson on Leadership Lincoln's Life, Experiences, and Travel (unit)  Lincoln and the Five Themes (lesson)  The Life of Lincoln (lesson plan) Mock Trial: Abraham Lincoln  Free Clip Art        All Rights Reserved    Clip Art Credit: Phillip Martin Have a great year!
