The review was great as this chapter has lasted SO long!

Social Studies continued learning about the war up to 1916.

We discussed weapons of war and how drastically warfare has changed from the Civil War with the new inventions in weaponry and technology. We learned of President Wilsons Peace Plan, and about many innovations and inventions during this time period.
