Hello agin everyone! This is Ivy. Our most recent school study has been on the roaring 20’s and the great depression. First we tried “pole sitting”
Baseball with Babe Ruth
And conssecions! popcorn, peanuts!
Then the stockmarket crashed and we moved on into bread lines
and soup kitchens
Followed by Hobo life. We went and visited the local train trestle and had a lot of fun in the creek
Then we had a Hobo cookout with cans of beans over the fire
Finally we got to visit an abandoned boxcar and “ride the rails”
Until next time!

Ivy, you did a beautiful job putting this all together. Papa Doc and I enjoyed looking through each picture and reading the comments. The great depression sure looks inviting as your family acts it out.
Fun times! You will really remember a lot from this study. Plus, during the Depression, Grandpa’s dad pointed out to him some hobo markings on a pole near their house.
