On Monday Mr. Hellman’s social studies classes began their study of the US Civil War. To help the class understand the differences in the numbers and supplies for the two sides we had a paper ball fight in class. The north had more students and more paper balls than the south. In the end the entire class was allowed to attack Mr. Hellman. He barely escaped the attack!
