FOR TEACHERS:

Celebrate the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth this February 2009 with the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission’s free classroom poster!  The front side, suitable for classroom display, is a portrait of Lincoln, while the reverse contains resources for educators, offering suggestions for incorporating Lincoln’s legacy into the classroom.  To request this poster, please call (202) 707-6998 or visit www.abrahamlincoln200.org and click on For Teachers. 

On the website, you can view web resources from educational organizations, search lesson plans, and find event ideas, classroom resources, and sign up to participate in the Lincoln Legacy School recognition program.  Schools that apply for the Lincoln Legacy School program will receive a certificate and will be listed in a national register.  Join us in celebrating our greatest American president and help our students honor Lincoln's legacy of freedom, democracy and equality of opportunity!
