• Civil War for Kids (Elementary)
  The students in Mrs. Huber's class at Pocantico Hills School in Sleepy Hollow, NY learned about the Civil War and made a timeline of important events from 1860 to 1865. The bar graphs contain data about the North and the South in 1861. They looked at Civil War battle victories, used mapping skills to examine the nation in detail and made both Confederate and Union flags. They have drawings of uniforms, short biographies of leaders, links to other sites, and activity sheets.
