Students in fifth grade have been learning about the Civil War. As part of the unit on the Civil War, the students learned about the Gettysburg Address. 

This is a famous speech given by President Abraham Lincoln after the battle of Gettysburg.  The fifth-graders performed the Gettysburg Address with a Flipgrid video. Many students wore costumes to get into character as they delivered the famed speech.

Enjoy watching a video compilation of many of the fifth-graders reading.
