From 1929-1939, things seemed to go from bad to worse for people living in the United States. First, the Great Depression hit, and while that was disrupting the lives of Americans, a horrible drought plagued the Great Plains and caused further upheaval. Join us on Wednesday, May 14th, at 1pm as we discuss the causes leading up to these events as well as the hardships, solutions and aftermath of these difficult times in US history.
How do you think the Depression and Dust Bowl may have affected the lives of ordinary people living on the plains of Texas?
As always, Homeschool Day will include a lesson, slideshow, supplemental materials and activities that will help your student make connections to the past.
