This month we will be learning about the Civil War. One of the most influential and important people during that time was Abraham Lincoln. You will get to learn about him and memorize one of his most famous speeches!
Your challenge this month is to memorize the Gettysburg Address. It is one of Lincoln's most famous speeches, but is very short-only 272 words. Talk with your parents about what the words mean. You can pass off the speech to your teacher anytime this month at recess, before school, or after school (just let her know when you're ready). You can have as many tries as you need so don't give up!
