Lee Surrenders

Hi Everyone!

Today, we covered the surrender at Appomattox.  General Grant and his army treated General Lee and his army with great respect.

We also did a document study on Lincoln's 2nd Inaugural Address.

Then we ended with a fun video and discussion.  Here's a link to the video: http://www.theatlantic.com/video/index/383057/a-tale-of-momentum-inertia/

There was no writing assignment this week.

Assignments:

  • MEMORIZE!!!
  • Read thru Amendments 13-15
  • Hero Reports
  • Watch Movies
  • Start reading "To Kill A Mockingbird"  (Due January 8th)

Only three classes left.

I'm ordering swords soon.  Everyone needs to get working to finish up these last few requirements.  We'll be able to pass off the Speeches/Documents requirement in class next week.  :-)

Parents:  Over Christmas break, your student can pass off their memory work to you instead of General Lisa or General Paige.

See you all next week!

~General Lisa & General Paige
