It is hard to believe that March 1 has arrived today and who doesn’t want to be lucky? The luck of the Irish being recognized on March 17!
So between starting with remembering rabbits on the first day of the month , remembering FDR is interesting too!
FDR was a big believer in the ritual and never forgot to participate … he is responsible for adding the rabbit’s foot to the legend.
FDR
FDR never forgot to participate in the first day of month ritual and carried his lucky rabbit foot when running and winning his first Presidential election! He never forgot to participate!
FDR and his lucky rabbit charm that put him in the White House -the longest of any President !
So remember to ” Shout Out … ” Rabbit, Rabbit’ early this morning !!!!! And then smile smile smile!!!!!
I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents
were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my
grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old
Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended
Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters
Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am
presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also
taught at the College of Charleston.
For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy
matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of
stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message
through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret
of success in teaching social studies is always in the story.
I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest
teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re
ripe you rot.”
