We crammed a lot of information in this past Thursday regarding the Great Depression. This brought us to discuss the 3 Presidents around this time period. 30th President: Calvin Coolidge (pre Great Depression), 31st President: Hebert Hoover (During) and 32nd President: Franklin D. Roosevelt (after). Ask your families about any stories they have from this time period. You might learn some interesting facts, just like the ones I told you of my Great Grandmother.
Remember we are going into our Campaign part of the lesson and if you can research the different Political Parties that run for Presidency it will allow for our Thursday to run with more discussion and debate!
As you research the many options, start making notes of which one you think you would classify yourself as during our campaign for FILA KID President or better yet, if you were running the real job of President of the United States of America.
I will give you the TWO major Political Parties we hear about regularly, but REMEMBER there are more. DIG DIG DIG! :)
Republican
Democratic
Looking forward to the discussion on Thursday. See you then!
