9:00-9:40 am CT:   We will start the day with an "Introduction to the Three Branches of Government and the Roles of the President."

10:00-10:40 am CT:  "Becoming President." During this time, students will learn about the requirements to become the president and figure out what year they will be eligible!

1:00-1:40 pm CT: Students will examine primary source letters that kids just like them wrote to President Eisenhower in "Dear Mr. President"and then practice their American right to write today's elected officials.

2:00-2:40 pm: IKEducation will read the children's book Sophia Valdez, Future Prez by Andrea Beaty to springboard students into considering what issues they might want to tackle in "If I Were President."

Step back in time and learn about “Little Ike,” as Dwight D. Eisenhower was known during his boyhood. This program will use artifacts that paint a picture of Little Ike's rural Kansas life from 1890 - 1910.

It’s election time in America! You may know that ”I Like Ike” was the most successful campaign slogan in history, but did you know that it went beyond the iconic pin? Students will learn about the Disney commercial, the song, and even 1952 election fashions that helped propel Ike to the presidency.

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were members of the Communist Party living in the U.S. when they were convicted of passing secrets to the Soviet Union in 1945 and sentenced to death. Controversy surrounded the case, as many claimed the decision was the result of Cold War hysteria rather than facts. In this program, students examine primary documents from people both inside and outside of the Intelligence Community, and then examine President Eisenhower's decision of whether or not to grant executive clemency to the Rosenbergs.

Every aspect of American life was focused towards winning during World War II, and everyone tried to do their part to support the Allied troops. Students will explore primary sources like ration books and propaganda posters to learn how Americans on the home front helped our troops win the war.

Using the newest children’s book written by Andrea Beaty and illustrated by David Roberts, IKEducation invites you to get an afternoon snack and join us for story time. Sophia Valdez, Future Prez is a great book to begin a discussion of civic duty and what it takes to bring a community together to do something good, no mater how old you are. Beaty encourages her readers to stand up for what they believe in, and teaches them to not give up at the first sign of failure.
