Reviews on Japan and Osage Indians
I have just reviewed a Japan A-Z. It told me so much. It was a good presentation. I learned that the zodiac is important in Japan. It is there to show your personality. Children’s Day, where they celebrate children in Japan, is an actual holiday that is held on May 5th. Yen is cool because it’s like pennies to us. It’s true, because if you have 100 Yen you could have $1. Another thing you could see HERE, is that Japan created(hate it)Pokemon and Mario. They are some of the most popular (don’t know how) games in the world. But I have one question left, who is Japan’s leader? You can see the A-Z Japan by clicking HERE.
The Osage Indians are famous for their hunting, gardening and foraging skills. But later, they somehow traveled to northeast Arkansas. I also learned that they were a tribe that lived in teepees and earth lodges. Did you also know that some body parts from buffalo and deer can be used as hunting weapons and carrying water? (gross, unsanitary I think) Did you know that they also grew pumpkins? So Jack- A-Lanterns for everyone! But one thing I was wondering is if they were aggressive or passive?

Summary of past blog posts
Summary of past blog posts
From this A to Z I learned that the Civil War started April the 9th and lasted 4 years from 1881 to 1885. I liked the fact that Henry W. Halleck’s nickname is Old Brains! I learned that the Civil war was fought for slavery. I am still wondering: Who ended the Civil War?
A to Z on Hawaii
A to Z on Hawaii
From this A to Z I learned that there are over 650 species of Fish in Hawaii. I didn’t know about Volcano Kilauea. I also didn’t know that there are 132 known islands in Hawaii. I still wonder: What kinds of Volcanoes reign Hawaii?

Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina
By Ivoree
I, Ivoree Marler, am here at New Orleans where Hurricane Katrina hit on August 29, 2005. I am here a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina happened. Before the Hurricane people had to nail wood to their houses so that it would protect most of their houses. It still might damage some of the houses. Did you know that hurricanes last at least a week? That is a long time. Hurricane Katrina also forced the water to pile the boats on top of each other. Hurricane Katrina gained strength in the Gulf of Mexico and made landfall near the Louisiana-Mississippi border. 80% of the city flooded. They had to go on top of their houses and let a rescue boat come and pick them up. After the hurricane, people had to sleep in cots at the football stadium so other people could fix their house of what was damaged. When the water flooded the city it pushed all the cars wherever the water was going. Hurricane Katrina killed 1,833 people and it was a very strong and destructive storm. Many people lost their families. It was going 175 mph. Hurricane season isn’t over so stay safe. If you hear another hurricane is coming stay with your family and drive away as far as you can away from the water.

Revewing Past Blog Post
I looked at 2 different blog post one about the Civil War and the other about Paul Revere.
I read about the Civil War and how it was a colossal war and there was a lot of bloodshed. Some of the things I learned are that the war was fought over slavery as well as state rights. Also the South thought that if they had to give up their slaves they would lose some materials. Finally that the Mason Dixon Line was the imaginary line that separated the free states form the slave states. I was also wondering if there was any politicians that might have wanted the south to abolish slavery or vice versa?
I also read about Paul Revere and how he played a big role in the Lexington and Concord battle by warning them the British are coming. Some things I learned, were that he was a Silversmith as well as a Engraver and a early Industrialist. I didn’t know that Dr. Joseph Warren sent Paul Revere to tell the Americans the British are coming. I also didn’t know that General Gage wanted to steal all the Americans gunpowder, so they couldn’t fight and the British would win the war. I was wondering if Paul Revere thought to do 1 lantern if by land or 2 if by sea or Dr. Joseph Warren did?
