How are you today? As we begin the weekend, and it is a beautiful day here in Haltom City I can’t wait to get outside with Charlie and spend some time playing at the park. With Presidents Day being on Monday and Charlie being out of school I wanted to find Presidents’ Day Homeschooling Resources for Charlie.
I found some that will be a whole lot of fun. I thought I would share them with you inside this new post for Presidents’ Day Homeschooling Resources. Now, if you have President Day resources you can share with us, Please stop by and share them with Charlie and I.
Presidents’ Day is an American holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February. Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, it is still officially called “Washington’s Birthday” by the federal government.
Traditionally celebrated on February 22—Washington’s actual day of birth—the holiday became popularly known as Presidents’ Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers.
While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents’ Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents past and present.
