Holiday Webquests for February 

I really think you will find these webquests of interest to use with your students(4-9th grade)!

Abe Lincoln's Birthday was (2/12).President Abraham Lincoln was president through the four years of the Civil War(1861-1865). He had promised in his election campaign that if elected, he'd end slavery. What you may not know is that President Lincoln started our national Thanksgiving holiday. He issued a proclamation saying that the last Thursday of each year would be a national Thanksgiving Day holiday. And, you may not know that Abraham Lincoln didn't like the name Abe and that even his wife called him by the name Lincoln.
"And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years ". Ask your students what they think this quote means.
