Gwendolyn and I discussed events happening in the U.S. during the roaring 20s and during The Great Depression. We learned about the dust bowl, migration, and poverty among farmers. We discussed FDR's Presidency and The New Deal. We read about this time period in two textbooks. We discussed the link between World War I and II. We watched "World War II Causes" on BrainPop and discussed new concepts - appeasement, reparations, isolationism. We learned why the U.S. was not involved in the War until after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Finally, we reviewed roman numerals and State capitals. We planned an Earth Day project and an egg project for class next week.
