This month is Black History Month but not only that it is also Presidents Day. So I thought you might like to share this new Homeschool Resource I found with your students. As they will be able to visit Lincoln Home National Historic Site. I know Charlie will enjoy this a lot as Abraham and George Washington are Charlies two favorite presidents. So come join us on this Field Trip we are taking this week. Make sure and pack your favorite snack as I am not sure how long we will stay.
