In our last meeting we discussed civil war reenactments held in California. Elizabeth mentioned that the San Lorenzo Middle School down in King City does a civil war reenactment annually and she just sent me the link. They have a nice web page that has movies and pictures of their reenactments from previous years. It looks like they really go all out with uniforms, equipments, battle plans, etc.This seems like a fun way to help kids better understand and appreciate history. It can make a history lesson come alive, so kids realize that it's not just about dates, battles, and treaties, but that there's alot of human drama, alot of blood, sweat and tears involved; which is of course, what makes history so fascinating...and so memorable. Anyway, I thought you might like to visit the website in case you wanted to share the idea with your kids' or grandkids' school.
