Welcome back

Spring Break is over and done with, we must now move on. I enjoyed my trip to Washington D.C. and Philadelphia over Spring Break. I'm pretty sure the others enjoyed it just as much. After hearing about some of the interesting Spring Break stories, we moved on to our review of Andrew Jackson and his presidency. Side Note: Andrew Jackson Test this Thursday March 25th.

President Andrew Jackson

Classes finished up the introduction of Andrew Jackson. We talked about the way Andrew Jackson was raised and what he went through as a child and how that may have affected his Presidency. Jackson faced issues with the Native Americans, the National Bank, & the Vice-President.

Who's that guy on the 20 dollar bill?

Students began reading about the 7th President of the United States. Soon they will see why the Native American population was not a fan of his presidency. Why is Andrew Jackson's presidency celebrated in this country? Was he for the people or did that change once he became President? He was an interesting American figure.
