HomeSchool Curriculum for teaching a gifted Child with a Learning Disability

President's Day is a GREAT time to have your child learn about the President's of the United States of America. It is naturaly for a child's curiosity to ask, "What is President's Day?" You can arm yourself with information for a President's Day Unit Study through the learning activites and websites below. Some of them are great for your child to explore directly to learn as much about the Presidents as he or she desires.

What better place to start than with the definitive "expert" -- The White House.

www.WhiteHouseKids.gov - Is a website your child can explore to learn many details about the Presidents. The site has information on the holiday and biographies of all of the presidents. Interesting tidbits about White House pets and Presidential sports make the presidents "real" people and add a fun twist that kids will love.

www.Patriotism.org - Has a brief history of President's day as well as lesson plans for 6th-12th grade students. Biographies of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are provided as well.
