Presidents Day

Presidents Day
Monday February 19

                           
Washington's birthday is a United States federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February in honor of George Washington, the first President of the United States, who was born on February 22, 1732. We celebrated this day on Monday, February 19.

The origin of Presidents Day lies in the 1880's, when the birthday of Washington-commander of the Continental Army during the American Revolution and the first president of the United States-was first celebrated as a federal holiday. In 1968 Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill, which moved a number of federal holidays to Mondays. 

Some ways to honor and show respect on Presidents Day is to learn all 44 presidents' names. Tour the White house. You can do an activity that will teach students all that is required of a president. The president wears many hats, and bears a lot or responsibility. Another way to honor our past presidents is by creating a monument. Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln helped reshape our country. Today, the nation honors their contributions by teaching our students important facts about these presidents. A fun ways to discover these facts is to have students become time travelers, and go on a scavenger hunt.

A fact is that is became a holiday is 1879.
