Hi!

It's Election Week. No matter who you voted for, its another testament to a peaceful transition.

I think it's always important that we are grateful for what we have. So I found this really great lesson plan that teaches about why every vote counts. When your child understands and participates in the process that's what makes the difference between democracy and dictatorship. This lesson explains the difference and why every vote counts

Plus, did you know that voter fraud has been around for a while! I'm talking about one of our history's early elections! The question is, how did a small wooden box help eliminate slavery in the mid-19th century? And what does that have to do with voter fraud?

Plus we included instructions on How To Run For President. Some parents hope their children grow up to be president. Now your child can find out what it's like to be president.

President Warren Harding was also born this week. He died in office. But did he die of sadness "when his friends betrayed him"? Read on!

Daniel Boone was also born this week. For the first time you and your children can read his own adventures on the Internet (as he wrote it!) Your child can see how grammar and syntax was different in the 1700s!

PLUS Don't Miss This Really Great Deal!
