A Great Man

A great man
you ought to know,
lived a long, long
time ago.
Abraham Lincoln
the President,
gave freedom to
each resident.
He made the world
a better place.
For you and me,
and the human race.

George Washington, George Washington.
We honor you today.
George Washington, George Washington,
Father of the USA!

Abraham Lincoln, kind and good,
Is honored and loved by many.
To help us remember this president,
We put his face on our penny.

Abraham Lincoln was a tall, tall man
he wore a stove-pipe hat
He was our 16th president
now what do you think of that
If you want to see his face
I'll tell you what to do
take a penny turn it up
his face will look at you

MONEY POEMS
Penny, penny,Easily spent
Copper brown, and worth one cent.
Nickel, nickel,Thick and fat,
You're worth five cents. I know that.
Dime, dime, Little and thin,
I remember, You're worth ten.
Quarter, quarter, Big and bold,
You're worth twenty-five, I am told!
Teach the following rap:
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.
Well a penny is one and a nickel is five,
A dime is worth ten and a quarter twenty-five.
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.
Five pennies make a nickel,
Two nickels make a dime.
Two dimes and a nickel
make a quarter and it's mine.
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.

Lincoln

Through hard work, skill, & determination. (wipe forehead)
Lincoln became one of America's greatest men. (one finger)
He was a peace-loving man who was just. (hand to heart)
Equal rights for all was a must! (spread arms)

George Washington

A very old legend tells me (point to self)
George Washington cut down a cherry tree. (pretend to chop)
Because he would not tell a lie, (shake head sideways)
When asked who did this terrible deed, (deep voice, place hands on hips)
He said, "Dear Father, it was I." (point to self)
Although this story is only a legend, (shake head sideways)
It reminds me that George Washington
Was a brave & honest man.

President's Day

Lincoln and Washington
They are remembered on
President's Day.
Two men in history
Who gave us liberty.
Honor their memories
On this great day.

Abraham Lincoln
 
President Lincoln is a favorite President,
He is honored and loved by many.
So we do not forget him,
 We put his face on our penny.
