5th Grade: Save the Date

Students in the 5th Grade Humanities classes will soon begin working on government and history. We will begin that transition during this unit. The history portion of this class begins with a study of the causes and effects of the Civil War. On November 4th (Election Day) we will have a special guest from the Atlanta History Center who will bring artifacts and discuss the civil war with students. This will not be a one-sided activity. Students will be actively engaged.

I am working to bring other speakers to talk on a variety of issues, included local political leaders, and those who can bring history alive.
