History was coming to life for students at Lima's North Middle School as the school year comes to the end. Some 5th and 6th graders get the chance to experience what life would be like during the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the Western Expansion. Educators say that it can be difficult keeping the students attention in the last few days of classes. The kids went room to room for the "history era tour". The hands-on activities seem to keep their attention and help them retain the information.
