Brody's Civil War Coached Project

Every year at Merrol Hyde, the 5th graders complete their first coached project on the Civil War.  The students are assigned different topics about the Civil War, and Brody and his partner, Anderson, were assigned music in the Civil War.  All of the research and preparations are done at school, which is definitely new for these guys.  They are used to working on projects at home and receiving extra guidance from family.  With this one, though, they are completely on their own, and I have to say...I was blown away by how well all of the kids did!  I'm especially proud of Brody and Anderson.  Their speeches were great, and their display board looked very nice!!  Pretty impressive for two boys. : )

A big thank you goes out to my mom (aka Poogie) for making Brody a Civil War Confederate Soldier costume to wear during their presentation.  He looked awesome!
