United States Presidents – Elementary Lesson Plans
Since the inauguration is today, we thought we’d share some of the lesson plans that focus on presidents.

Prior to the lesson, ask students to talk about the U. S. Presidents with their parents. In class, ask students to name the presidents of the United States that they know.
