The Great Depression

Today the depression started to affect employment. Truck drivers pay was cut in half, miners are down to working 4 days a week, farm prices are dropping and factory workers are unemployed. Today most of the students were still able to make payments and buy groceries, however, our bank is starting to run out of money.

There is an assignment for Monday. The students were given a packet on the 1930's and have some questions to answer on the very last page. This assignment will be for credit and will be used when we take our test on the 1900-1940's so it's important that they complete it. Enjoy your weekend. (I've got a birthday party to throw for my daughter...she's 5!)
