           The Civil War

The kids are ready for their end of unit test.  We have learned about important leaders, places and battles.  Now it's their turn to show me what they know!  A study guide was given today.  The students voted for Friday, November 6 as the test date.  I have attached a copy of the study guide just in case the first one disappears.

Happy Studying!!!
