Patrick's Update

Hurricane Charley

Hurricane Charley rampages through a small town that depends on ice, and freezers, because of the burning hot tempertures there. Families lost their homes, their things, and most of their clothing. Churches are destroyed and schools are also gone. Only a little bit still stands after the disaster. The families try hard to fix it and to find ice to survive.

I wunder how many hurricanes have occured in the last two years. Do you know how many hurricanes have occured?

Hurricane Ivan

Ivan finally hit Jamaica and measured at 55 feet of waves and a speed about 30 miles per hour. At that speed it destroyed the town and caused major flooding in the small village and other counties suffered flood. Ivan hit up to 130 miles per hour winds. Jamaica was one of the first to feel Ivan’s power.
More was just ahead. Do you know anything about Hurricane Ivan?

My Revised Version

After Ivan

Ivan had came out of nowhere and nailed into Jamaica with a huge strike of terror. The people suffered 55 feet of waves and 30 miles per hour speed. Also up to 130 miles per hour winds! A small village was hit also. Ivan left major flooding to counties and Jamaica was only the first to feel Ivan’s horrible power. What will you do if a stage 5 hurricane was coming to your town please tell?

Hariot Tubman and the Underground Railroad

A long time ago there was a woman named Hariot Tubman. Hariot Tubman was famous for leading black slaves through the UGRR.

The UGRR stands for Underground railroad. Hariot Tubman was a slave herself so she knew how they felt. When she was young as a slave she was told to kill a slave who tried to escape she refused and she was whipped alot.

When she grew up she decided that she would lead the slaves to the north to help them, but she would have to do her job as the UGRR worker she decided to lead them through the UGRR and she suceeded, she lead over 300 to the north and thats where they lived.

Our First Meeting

Today I was told that I would be in a new group where kids weblog, and that’s the name of the group. When we were in the lab, we worked on social studies on the computers.                                 

Later we went and looked at the past webloggers opinions on their blogs. Then everyone chose a partner and then  gave one opinion to the class.

Then we looked at their work, took it and pasted it in Word on the computer and then printed it. That is what we did the first day of weblogging.
