Make history relevant for your children with Washington's Farewell Address which introduces students to the first "father" of our nation. Through time lines, thought-provoking questions and activities, and historical facts, your students in grades 4-8 will meet this great leader and explore a fascinating period in American history. Children will learn about the challenges that Washington faced as first Presdient of a newly found country; the concerns he voiced about divisiveness between the north and south, as well as the emerging Federalist and Democrat-Republican parties; and the unique visions and achievements that distinguish Washington as one of the most memorable and beloved American President. For too many students, history was then and this is now. The implications, the lessons and the relevance of past events are never discovered because that door is slammed shut before it is every fully opened. This series involved students in examining historical documents and understanding their impact on our present lives.
