Last Friday, fourth grade students participated in a presentation on the Civil War. Barbara and David Thyren, along with their daughter Christina, are Civil War reenactors who also do school presentations. They shared what life was like during the time of the Civil War (1861-1865).
Fourth graders learned that children only went to school for six years. Each family had one slate to share during the day. Children also made their own toys to play with. Women dressed in layers that included hoop skirts. They also had dresses for different things they did such as cooking or going to town. The women had many responsibilities in daily living including sewing all the clothes.
Soldiers did trainings at Camp Randall in Madison to be ready to serve in the war. The process of loading the rifle included using their teeth to open the gunpowder before pouring it into the barrel, then they packed it tight and put the bullet in. Soldiers put a bayonet on the end of their rifles and ran at the enemy to scare them off. The food they ate included hardtack, pork and anything else they could find.
The students learned a lot about the Civil War! Thank You, Thyrens!

Recently, the fifth grade science classes had a special visitor. Stephen Goss, parent of one of our fifth graders and Fennimore Schools alum, is currently the Instrumentation & Controls Technology Instructor at Southwest Tech. During his visit he spoke to the students about Ohm’s Law, voltage, current, and resistance. Mr. Goss did some fun activities with the students using snap circuits, a maintained on and off switch, a press switch, a 100 Ohm resistor, conductors, and a fan blade. Students also got to use a digital multimeter to measure voltage current. The students also learned about the different classes in this field that they could take in the future. Thank you Mr. Goss! #fes #EaglesSoar
