FINAL Class

Hi Sword Scholars!

We had a great class yesterday, full of interesting discussion and great feats of  physical stamina!

As we've been doing military and other exercises throughout this semester, almost EVERY week, we had a contest (with candy rewards) for those that could perform the best at particular feats (push-ups, sit-ups, lunges, wall sits). We even had teacher Mary show up and help to ensure our form was at its best. Thank you teacher Mary!

We discussed the rapid technological development the United States (especially the northern states) underwent during the Civil War.

We talked about what our country would likely have experienced, had the Civil War not happened (remember apartheid?).

We read and were quizzed on some Civil War FAQ...and we ate a LOT of sugar.

We discussed what the battle would be like, as well as what prepping we needed to do for Parent's Night next week.

HANNAH and BENJAMIN - I still need you to email me your last paper!!!

Remember, for next week, please bring in any quotes/pictures you want to use for your wall hanging/collage we are working on.

I'd better run...got to get ready for the battle about to begin....in 6 more hours!

See you all soon!
