Lessons from Mount Vernon

cdrom-coverYou may be wondering why we have posted so many lesson plans lately, though we hope you have enjoyed them. After six months of development, we are SO pleased to announce our new CD-ROM of teaching materials, George Washington: Lessons from Mount Vernon, which includes the lesson plans that have been recently posted. The CD has over thirty lesson plans (searchable by elementary, middle or high school), a dozen activity sheets for elementary students such as word searches and coloring sheets, pre-visit materials and Teacher’s Guides, and even a PowerPoint of Rare Facts & Curious Truths about George Washington. One of the neatest features of the CD is an Image Gallery with downloadable, high quality images of paintings of Washington and his family, pictures of Mount Vernon Estate, and artifacts from our Collections. If you would like this free resource for your own classroom, email your mailing address to cmccliggott@mountvernon.org and we will get your copy in the mail asap!

Portraits in Schools

Kids holding George Washington Portrait

Mount Vernon recently invited K-12 schools nationwide to request framed portraits of George Washington to display in a respectful, prominent place.

The response was overwhelming: thousands of schools submitted letters! Along with the portrait, schools received curriculum materials to help explore our first president’s contributions.
