For two weeks in February, BMS is going to step back in time. On Tuesday, February 18, the U.S. Department of Interior will deliver a Civil War traveling trunk. 8th grade students will have the opportunity to connect their study of the causes and effects of the Civil War to daily life in the nineteenth-century as they explore the music, literature, and past times of a Civil War soldier. Teams will compete in a regimental marching competition and record choral readings of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. For two days, the BMS library will be turned into a Civil War museum where eighth graders will interact with artifacts and primary and secondary sources. Stay tuned for more info on the joint initiative sponsored by the social studies department, the ELA department, and the library.
