America’s First President: 3rd Grade

In this course, we will learn about George Washington, who, for many, is the ‘Father of America.’ In particular, we will learn about George Washington’s life in the military. We will learn about him following his brother into the military and his rise through the ranks. We will learn about the seemingly impossible task he faced in securing independence for America in the Revolutionary War, especially after the defeat at the Battle of Long Island and retreating to Pennsylvania. Finally, we will learn about George Washington crossing the Delaware River to start an amazing fight back that culminated with victory at the Battle of Yorktown.
