Presidents of the U.S.
in trivia

There's a report of a typical day at our house that involved songs about presidents (linked below). Now I know of another song. It can't be added to that other page, but it has inspired a directory page for mentions of presidents on my site.

Now it's a history unit! Or a place to land for a minute before jumping out elsewhere in merry, random fashion.

That day at my house... Typical Unschooling Day

One day at the Dodd house, bits and parts of many months before fell into a pattern, with music!

Jonathan Coulton, presidents song:

Other presidential bits and trivia:

You Could Grow Up to be President!

"From 1891 to 1907, sixteen full years, not a single future president was born. So it’s possible that nobody born from 1991 to 2007 will be president either." (or from 2008 to 2024)
Kotex, The Mummy and the talk (on Just Add Light and Stir)
"While watching The Mummy (cartoon), we talked about Egypt and the pharoahs, and then slavery, which eventually led to the civil war and Abe Lincoln, and then on to other presidents that had done 'great' things."
—Lyle Perry, on how one things leads to all the others

George Washington
Newly unschooling dad has a George-Washington epiphany, thanks to his son's confidently superior knowledge.

Animaniacs song about the presidents—Clinton was current; my kids were watching a lot of Animaniacs then.
