Bill Gates was born October 28. In sixth grade he lost interest in school. And he ended up being one of the richest men in the world. He showed that hard work pays off.
ReplyDeleteI liked the living history speeches. The person I found most interesting was Althea Gibson. I learned that she was born in South Carolina and was alive during the great depression. She was one of the only black people that played tennis and she was very good! I'm looking forward to do this fun project next year in 4th grade.
ReplyDeleteYesterday and today, my class and I went to the fourth graders Living History Museum!
ReplyDeleteSo my group first went to Neil Armstrong, I learned that Neil Armstrong got his pilots license before his drivers license, I could't really hear most of the things the kid was saying but I wrote this down. Next my group went to Florence Nightingale, she was a nurse and I am not really sure about this fact because of what Saya said but, what I think it is, that Florence Nightingale liked dolls a lot so she had 18 dolls! Then we visited Milton Hershey! He was the man who invented Hershey's Chocolate! Then we visited Jane Goodall, Jane Goodall was 5 years old when she discovered her passion for animals. Then we visited Mother Teresa, Mother Teresa was 14 when her brother went to the army. These were just the people who we visited on Tuesday.
On Wednesday we visited John Muir, Georgia O'keef, Bessie Coleman, Jane Goodall and Venus Williams. I did write facts about these people, but if I shared them, then my post would be very long. THE END
Neil Armstrong:
ReplyDeleteWhen Neil Armstrong was six he knew that he wanted to be a pilot when he grew up. He got his pilot's license before his driving license. He was the first person to set foot on the moon.
Florence Nightingale:
She was born into a very wealthy family. She love to play with dolls when she was young. She took care of her neighborhood's animals. She met the first woman nurse, Ms. Blackwell. She sadly died at 90.
Milton Hershey:
He was persistent and resilient in his job. He always had a sweet tooth.
Jane Goodall:
At age 5 she loved to love animals. In 1939 she left the country with her family because of the war. She remarried in 1955. When she visited the jungle she loved the sights and the animals especially the gorillas and monkeys.
Mother Theresa:
For years she was a school teacher to her town's children. She got the Nobel Prize at age 69. She found a love for children at a young age. She loved to care for all of the homeless people of India. She tried to visit another country but her father said "No," but just ask your brother. At first people called her sister Teresa then she acted like a mother so they called Mother Teresa.
Doctor Seuss:
He finished high school in 1867. He stared writing and drawing after he got out of college. He wrote some books and he sent them to s publisher. The publisher liked his books and for his next book they gave Dr. Seuss 274 words for his next book. After that book his boss gave him 50 words and told him to turn it into a book. At age 87 his books still sell around the country.
Florence Nightingale was empathetic to the men she treated during the war so was Mother Teresa with her children. Dr.Seuss was probably flexible with his boss giving him so many words but he still wrote amazing and famous books.
The fourth graders did a great job on there living history museum. I learned about Lou Gehrig and how he hit 4 home runs in one game. I also learned that he hit 161 home runs in one season. Lou Gehrig hit 400 home runs in his career. I also learned about Jackie Robinson and how he was the first African American to play MLB and he won MVP five times and that is really hard to do. Jackie Robinson also stole home to win the world series and that is awesome. When Jackie Robins retired he made it to the hall of fame a couple years later and most baseball players do not make it there. I cannot wait until I get to be part of living history next year.
ReplyDeleteThe forth graders did a great job. I never new that Lou gehrig won mvp. Lou gehrig also made the hall of fame.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed going to the living history museum. The fourth graders did a great job. A lot of the people that me and Mayes went to lots of people that I didn't know any thing about like I learned that Franklin D Rosavelt got a disease that made him not able to walk. I can't wait until I am in fourth grade and I get to do the living history museum!
