Marvelous Math with Mrs. Rose

Students in our Madison schools witnessed history as they viewed selected portions of the inauguration ceremonies for our 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, on January 20th.  Excitement filled the air as many of our younger students witnessed a presidential inauguration for the first time.  Social studies lessons in the classrooms supported this historic moment as teachers took advantage of this “teachable moment.”

Today (January 20), our students will witness an historic day as the 44th U.S. President, Barack Obama, takes his oath of office.  Many of our students in elementary school have only known one U.S. President so far and probably weren’t old enough to remember much about previous inauguration days.  Today, as they witness history in the making, it will be interesting to see their reactions.  Stay tuned . . .
