Great Depression Day

Moving right through American history, we held a Great Depression Day last Wednesday. The students got to visit different stations simulating life during the 1930s. Dressed in hobo attire, they experienced the stock market crash and life as a Dust Bowl farmer, they listened to FDR's fireside chats, built shantytowns and waited in bread lines, and then saw some of the entertainment of the time. It was a great experience for the students and teachers!

We have so much fun working together trying to make learning fun for our students!
