This week, our students learned about a very difficult time in American History--the Great Depression. The fun-loving, roaring 20's came to a screeching halt, with the stock market crashing, banks closing, factories shutting their doors, and 25% of American workers finding themselves without a job. The younger classes did activities relating to the Great Depression, while the Dialectic class did a stock market simulation. The Five in a Row class read the book, "Jessie Bear, What Will You Wear?" This classic children's book asks what a little bear wears all throughout his day and the reader discovers the answers!
