In this 45 minute class, we will learn about Alexander Hamilton. We will read the book Alexander Hamilton: A Plan for America. The book is labeled for students age 4 to 8. Since this is a young learners class, we will be focusing on general facts about Alexander Hamilton. Some general points are as follows: born in the Caribbean, fought in the Revolutionary War, and served as first Secretary of the Treasury. The book also provides a general reason for the duel with Aaron Burr. There are no prerequisites for the class. The class is meant to be fun as well as educational. I will also ask questions and provide some visuals such as a map of the Caribbean and Colonies. I hope you will join me for storytelling on Alexander Hamilton.
