[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just shocked to realize my kids hadn’t learned about the pony express-I swear that was like 20% the school year every year at my elementary. On the other hand they did learn more Spanish in 4th and 5th grade than I learned in grades 6-12 (while enrolled in Spanish!)[/quote] Where did you live? Along the route? I only learned about it from a booksale book.[/quote] DP. It was and is a standard part of the 4th grade curriculum in my VA public school system - outside NoVA. 4th grade there includes VA history and US history - and it covers BOTH the happy bits of history and the sad bits of history. That also is the year the kids have a school bus one-day visit to Jamestown, Yorktown, Williamsburg, and to a nearby civil war battlefield (on different school days). [/quote]
