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.    For Teachers & Students The Complete Teacher's Guide White House for Kids - Presidents Day George Washington Treasure Hunt George Washington - Lesson on Leadership Portrait for Kids (George Washington Interactive) Lincoln's Life, Experiences, and Travel (unit)  Lincoln and the Five Themes (lesson)  Life of Abraham Lincoln (written by kids)  Timeline Abraham Lincoln Life of Abraham Lincoln The Life of Lincoln (lesson plan) Abraham Lincoln for Primary Kids Abraham Lincoln  Mock Trial: Abraham Lincoln Assassination Learn About All The American Presidents  Free Clip Art  All Rights Reserved    Clip Art Credit: Phillip Martin Have a great year!
