Hooverville, New York City — 1931
📽 Documentary
18:42
The Great Depression (1929–1939) was the worst economic disaster in U.S. history. After the stock market crashed on Black Tuesday — October 29, 1929 — millions lost their jobs, homes, and savings. Unemployment reached 25%, meaning 1 in 4 workers had no income.
Narrator: "By 1932, more than 12 million Americans were out of work. Families stood in breadlines stretching around city blocks. Men who once wore business suits now sold apples on street corners for 5 cents each. This was the new reality — not just for the poor, but for the middle class, the farmer, and the factory worker alike…"

STOCKS COLLAPSE IN 16,410,030-SHARE DAY, BUT RALLY AT CLOSE CHEERS BROKERS
Losses Wipe Out Months of Gains — Tickers Run Hours Late
The stock market, swept by waves of selling, lost many millions of dollars in value in the most disastrous trading day in Wall Street history. Ticker tape ran more than two hours behind. Brokers were overwhelmed. Banks dispatched millions to support prices. The crash erased an estimated $14 billion in a single day.
📝 Analyze: What words suggest something bad happened? Why would bankers be called "optimistic" during a crash? Record your thoughts in notes.
Personal LetterLetter to President Roosevelt · 1934
Dear Mr. President, I am a mother of 7…
"Dear Mr. President, I am a mother of 7 children ranging in age from 2 to 14 years. My husband has been out of work for 2 years. We have no money for rent and the landlord is threatening us. The children have no shoes. Last week we ate only cornmeal mush for 5 days. I am not asking for charity — I am asking for work. — Mrs. E. Thompson, Ohio"
📝 Analyze: How does this letter make you feel? What does it tell us about what families were experiencing?

Computational thinking is how programmers break complex problems into smaller, solvable steps. Four pillars: Decomposition (break it down), Pattern Recognition (spot repeating structures), Abstraction (focus on what matters), and Algorithms (step-by-step solutions).
Decomposition
Break big problems small
Making a game → graphics + sound + input + logic
Pattern Recognition

📽 Ecosystems & Energy Flow · Episode 1
14:20
Ecosystems are communities of living organisms interacting with their environment. Energy flows through food chains and food webs — from producers (plants) to consumers (animals) to decomposers (fungi, bacteria). Only about 10% of energy transfers to the next level.
Producers
Make their own food
Plants use sunlight via photosynthesis
Primary Consumers
Herbivores eat producers
Rabbits, deer, caterpillars
Secondary Consumers
Predators eat herbivores
Frogs, snakes, small birds
Decomposers

2. If all the frogs in an ecosystem disappeared, what would happen to the insects? What about the snakes?
3. Why can't a food chain have 10 levels? Use the 10% rule to explain.
4. How do decomposers help keep an ecosystem running?

📽 Fractions & Decimals · Lesson 1
12:45
Fractions and decimals are two ways to represent parts of a whole. Understanding their relationship is key to number sense. ½ = 0.5, ¼ = 0.25, and ¾ = 0.75 — these equivalences appear everywhere in math and real life.
Fraction → Decimal
Divide numerator by denominator
¾ = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
Comparing Fractions
Find common denominators
⅔ vs ¾ → 8/12 vs 9/12 → ¾ is larger
Adding Fractions
Same denominator first
⅓ + ⅔ = 3/3 = 1 whole
Place Value
Tenths, hundredths, thousandths
