Gettysburg Reenactment Friday

Hello,

If you'd like to get a taste of what your son or daughter will be up to at this time next year, you might want to stop by the school this Friday.  There is a big assembly in the morning with 5th grade Union and Confederate soldiers.  They will speak about the tearing apart of our country.  The reading of the Gettysburg Address is usually outstanding.  By mid-morning the 5th graders will bring us good examples of camp life, discipline, the 19th century medicine, and an explanation of the battlefield.  The reenactment of Pickett's Charge will take place at 12:45.  A tip for all spectators: the Rebels will march toward the Yankees.  Sit near the Union lines. 

Testing season is approaching.  I've got end of the year tests to wrap up, from reading to writing, spelling to math.  I was happy with the simple machine results, but they have a written test to do for that as well. 

I think I'm going to play it safe tonight and sign off.  I'll pick up when I'm in a rosier mood.

Thanks,

Mr. Shea
