Description:

Have you ever heard something so interesting that you have to learn more? Or a story from our past that seemed almost unbelievable?

The concept of this class is to wow your child with the stories of our past to make them interested in history for the future. We will be talking about everything from the history of ice cream to the pig war in our state’s San Juan islands. The history of Hershey’s chocolate, and how its history correlates with the turn of the century, the great depression, and World War II. The goal of this class is to captivate these young minds and grow their curiosity for the past while also learning how to ask why and learn the domino effect of how we’ve gotten to where we are today. This is a no homework required class, my goal is to open their minds to the love of history. We will likely have a few in-class worksheets, but our class will primarily be PowerPoint, in-class discussions, and hands-on projects.
