U. S. HISTORY 1 is now live (sort of…..)!

The process of adding content for U. S. History 1 has taken a long time, and is still far from complete, but I’ve gone ahead and put the completed pages up live. Expect some bugs, especially for mobile versions of the site, but I wanted to make sure students, parents, and teachers had access to as much of it as is completed. Additional units will be posted over the next month! Enjoy!

Presidential Innaugurations!

Celebrate Presidential innaugurations by checking out artifacts from the Library of Congress from each of the past 45 presidents CLICK THE LINK to visit!

Anniversary of Women Voting

(19th Amendment)!

August marks the aniversay of the 19th Amendment. FMS was designated to host a pop- up exhibit from the National Archives, but unfortunately due to the pandemic, hosting for the 100th anniversary did not happen. We were able to keep the exhibit and have used it in classes, but you can view sections of the exhibit online, and enjoy these videos and links to learn more about the fight for the vote for women!

Mr. Bower on Television!

When Virginia scrambled to teach students without computers or internet access, WHRO in Hampton Rhodes asked me to be the 7th grade history teacher for their programming. Classes rotated each day with History programming each Thursday. Funding for history lessons, did not continue past the first season, but a second season continues the math and language arts instruction. Click Here for a complete listing of stations (Scroll down for stations, some air times have changed since the initial post). Episodes can also be accessed on EmediaVA. CLICK HERE to watch my episodes or CLICK HERE to watch all episodes.

WELCOME TO mrbower.com

Tnaks for all the positive feedback on the recent redesign of my website. With more and more visitors using mobile devices to access the site, a lot of effort went into making the site mobile friendly. Site navigation is also improved, making it easier for students and parents to find the unit content they are looking for. I have also added specific news and pop culture pages in response to requests. Thanks to everyone who asked for help identifying objective and trustworthy sources of news and current events, and I hope the resulting page becomes a reliable resource for students and families. As you can see, I’ve done even more tweaking to the site to make navigating and using the resources easier for students, parents, and teachers. Some functions and menus may behave a bit wonky as I iron out problems. Please bookmark the site, keep coming back as I add more and more content. My goal is to make this a fun place to learn history and get help, for my current and former students and parents, teachers around VIrgina and the world, and anyone who wants to enjoy history. Let me know if there is anything you think should be added. NOTE: Some functions on the mobile version of the website may be limited. POP CULTURE PAGE IS GROWING The pop culture page is now live with some Cold War and World War 2 content. Studying what people used to entertain themselves can tell you a great deal about what was going on at the time and how it affected them. Keep visiting, and I will be adding much more content over the next couple of weeks, including songs of World War I. Enjoy how pop culture givesus an entertaining glimpse into history.
