Do you need an easy learning activity to occupy your child when school is closed on President’s Day? A super simple activity that can be done anywhere you and your family find yourselves on President's Day is: Presidential Pennies!  Pull out the change from your wallet. Take the opportunity to talk about the coins that you find. Here are some talking points.

• Identify each coin.
• How much is each coin worth?
• Who is featured on each coin?
• What are some accomplishments achieved by that person?
• Add up all of the change.
• Toss the coin up in the air, have your child call 'heads' or 'tails'. If the coin lands on the side that your child called, she asks you a question about the information you just reviewed together. If the coins lands on the other side, you ask your child a question.
