Today we learned about Walt Disney! We first asked the kids what they knew about Walt Disney. They said when his birthday was, how many Academy Awards he received, his personal favorite Disney princess, etc. We first went over his childhood, and how he loved his time in Marceline, Missouri. We then talked about his early adult life, and how he was rejected from the army because he was too young, and that he started Laugh-O-Grams. Then, we talked about how Disney, his brother Roy, and Ub Iwerks set up a studio in California called Disney Brothers' Cartoon Studio in 1923, and that Mickey Mouse was created in 1928. We wrapped up the class by watching a part of Raya and the Last Dragon.
