Welcome to our History connection.

Welcome sweet ladies to our American History with each other the Myers and Schneider's ladies. 

We are all looking forward to our first time together, probably more to see each other and chat than to actually study American History.  

For our blog feel free to leave comments and say hi to each other. 

Over on the left hit the drop down and it will have a tab for Students and a book list. 

I will be adding picture and new gadgets as time goes by. 

Sooo before we begin here is a fun fact for you: 

The current flag was designed by a 17-year-old.

Our current 50-star flag was designed as part of a high school project by 17-year old Robert Heff. It was 1958, and there were only 48 states at the time but Heft had a hunch Hawaii and Alaska would soon be granted statehood.

His teacher gave him a B- but went on to update the grade to an A after Heft submitted his design to the White House, eventually leading to a call from President Eisenhower that it had been selected as the official U.S. flag. This is one of the 20 American flag facts that will amaze you.

You three are never to young to make an impact. 

I"ll leave you with this,

What did Tennessee?

Same thing Arkansas.

See you on Tuesday.
