Tomorrow Is Presidents Day

Tomorrow is Presidents Day, and I found some cool stuff to help teach your kids about this holiday. Go here to see the shows that will be showing, and their times, on the Biography channel. They start tomorrow at 7 AM, so be sure not to miss them. This website also has teaching ideas, and you can sign up for their free idea magazine, which I did. Then if you click on the Bio4Kids link, you will go to a website with games, and ideas for teaching kids about History. I love this site. Last is this cool video showcasing all the US Presidents from beginning, to recent.





There is no school tomorrow, but we will be using all these tools, for History this week. Have a great Sunday, everyone. I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day.
