February....so much to celebrate in addition to Valentine's Day!
Celebrate the contributions of African-Americans by exploring Black History Month. There are some wonderful resources on the internet. Visit this site to learn about African-American inventors: http://www.biography.com/tv/classroom/black-history-inventions-and-discoveries. Where would we be without Nathaniel Alexander's invention; the folding chair?
We celebrate President's Day on the third Monday in February. This year that's February 20th. Visit this site to learn about each and every American president: http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents. Why are there 28 days in February anyway? It's because of the Romans.
