Civil War by the Nibley 5th graders

The Civil War was performed by the 5th graders at Nibley elementary in a very fun and educational way. The classes were divided into two sides, North and South. Tyler ended up on the South side. The day before he came home and said, "I need to fill 100 water balloons and take them to school in a cooler for tomorrow". So after sore fingers we accomplished the task. Tyler was in 3 battles and if you were hit with a balloon you must fall to the ground until a medic comes and helps you back to your camp. I enjoyed watching this battle, but it also taught me more about people who sacrifice their lives for our country.
Let the battle begin.




After the War they had made head stones and recited the Gettysburg address. It was an awesome site.


Here is a very short small clip of the address!
