President’s Day Resources

FREE President’s Day Resources

February 20th is President’s Day here in the U.S. I thought I would share some resources we have here on the blog relating to our Presidents as well as our (free) U.S Landmarks and Symbols Montessori cards and other materials. We have several different packets about our US Presidents that are free here on the blog.

The third Monday in February is a federal holiday in the U.S. It is officially called Washington’s Birthday. Because Abraham Lincoln’s birthday is February 12, many people refer to this holiday as Presidents’ Day.  This is also a state holiday, though different states call it different things:  Washington’s Birthday,   President’s Day, Presidents’ Day, Washington and Lincoln Day, and even George Washington/Thomas Jefferson Birthday (in Alabama).

Last year I made some notebook pages that highlight some of the Presidents who were in charge during trying times: U.S. Presidents’ Worksheets – Presidents Day (These are free)

I also made a couple of notebook pages which will highlight a few of the Presidents who were in office during some of the major events:

  • Andrew Jackson                              the Trail of Tears.
  • Abraham Lincoln                            the Civil War
  • Woodrow Wilson                            World War I
  • Herbert Hoover (and FDR)          the Great Depression
  • Franklin Delano Roosevelt           World War II
  • Harry S. Truman                            the Korean War
  • John F. Kennedy                            the Cuban Missile Crisis

We also have a U.S. Civics and Government Packet: In this unit, we covered not only the 3 branches of government, the Constitution and “basic facts” about the U.S., but some new material (for us)… how State and Local governments work, what the federal, state and local governments do for us, and what kinds of taxes we pay to help keep the government running. You can find out more about our Civics and Government Packet here:

We have a World Facts Packet – which talks not only about some of the basic facts I wanted the kids to know about the world (What are the largest countries? Which countries have the largest population? What are the world’s longest rivers?) But also covers some basic facts about the United States as well (What is the smallest state? the biggest state? What is the name of the country’s tallest mountain? etc.). You can find out more about it here:
