Civil War On Sunday Part 2

Week 2 of Civil War

1. We talked about Drummer Boys

Johnny Clem-youngest drummer boy at 11

2. Made Civil War Drums


Elias, his ever-present 2 fingers, and his very non-civil war looking drum


3. Discussed field hospitals & women as nurses
Clara Barton, how the Red Cross formed....get a speaker or do a tour, or do a blood drive



4.Civil War Era Ginger Cakes



Kayley mixing the gingerbread dough


Ginger Crisps

What a yummy lesson this was...well, at least the Ginger Cakes part!
