Do you know Ike (a dog)? I know him and he’s annoying. Incase you haven’t noticed, he can be messy. Have you seen your backyard!? He is quite rude as well. For example: he’s been chasing me up and down the yard constantly. Lucky, he’s at obedience school. He has been doing good there lately. Have you heard of the luxury there? It sounds awesome! If you ever worry, I bet you that he is doing just fine. Mabee he should stay. First of all, they said that he was being a good dog. Second of all, he has been making lots of friends. And by lots, I mean LOTS! All I’m saying is that he deserves to be at obedience school, and he’ll do well.

Joelle Joanie “JoJo” Siwa was born on May 19, 2003 in Omaha, Nebraska. She is 15 years old (as of 2019). She is well known as a dancer, singer, and actor. Siwa has released songs like “Boomerang” and “Kid in a Candy Store”. She has her own YouTube channel “JoJo Siwa Vlogs”. She also has been appearing for two seasons on Dance Moms along with her mother, Jessalynn Siwa. We do have some things in common, like the fact we each love bows, we both have lots of energy, and love dancing. Some things about us are different. For instance, she has a channel, I don’t. She has a sibling, I’m an only child. She’s got a dog, I used to but not anymore. Her song “Boomerang” addresses the subject of online bullying too. But we know that she is a sweet, inspiring teenager so we should always be good.

Nonnative lake trout have been illegally introduced into Yellowstone Lake.  This has created a problem for the current native fish, the cutthroat. It could be difficult to relocate the lake trout while not disturbing the cutthroat. However, using gill nets to capture the lake trout may be the best solution to this dilemma.   They could then be returned to their original home.  This would cut cost while reducing the lake trout population. The pro’s to this solution would be more population of the cutthroat fish. There would be no need to eliminate all fish life.  Bears and other wildlife would stay in the area that is their home. Fishermen could continue fishing for the native cutthroat. This could also be more cost effective.  The con’s would still require a lot of money for equipment and labor.  There is no guarantee all lake trout could be removed.  There could still be problems for the cutthroat. Eliminating the lake trout entirely and reintroducing the cutthroat could cost between $32 and $181 million. By gill netting the fish, it seems to be the best solution.

Sibyl Ludington was the daughter of Colonel Henry Ludington.  On April 26,1977, at the young age of 16,  Ludington rode forty miles through the night to warn militiamen under the control of her father that British troops were planning to attach Danbury, Connecticut, where the Continental Army had a supply depot. On her way to gather her Fathers troops she warned the people of Danbury.  Ludington’s ride started at 9 p.m. and ended around dawn.  She rode 40 miles into the damp hours of darkness. She rode through Carmel on to Mahopac, then to Kent Cliffs, from there to Farmers Mills and back home. She used a stick to prod her horse and knock on doors. She managed to defend herself against a highwayman with a long stick. When, soaked with rain and exhausted, she returned home, most of the 400 soldiers were ready to march.

Massachusetts was were the Midnight Ride happened.

It all started on April 18, 1775.

During the Revolutionary War Revere became Lieutenant Colonel of Artillery in a Massachusetts Militia.

News of the Army’s advance were carried out by as many as 40 riders throughout Middlesex County by the end of the night.

In Massachusetts, special  troops were created to be ready to fight at a moment’s notice. These men were called Minutemen.

Greatly known for his famous ride, Revere was also also a skilled craftsman of metal.

Henry Wadsworth Long Fellow, a well known poet, wrote about Revere’s ride.

The midnight riders were Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Samuel Prescott.

It was a lantern that was their signal.

Daringly Robert Newman and Capt. John Pulling, Jr. climbed the steeple of Old North Church and held high lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that British marching by sea.

Experience in war helped Revere with his forward thinking about alarms.

MLK (Martin Luther King Jr.) day isn’t just a day off, it’s a day in. Just because we’re off school and work, doesn’t mean that King was. King was born on January 15, 1929, however, we celebrate MLK day on the third Monday in January. We honor King because of his “I have a dream” speech. He made his speech so that all people, black and white can be together under the law. White people had better stuff than black people, it was unfair. Gladly King made his speech that day. Yet sadly, King got shot. It is a sad moment, but it’s important to remember that sharing is a good thing. Even with King.

I did the dance party. I got to level 2.

Hi, for my job, I’m a basket maker. Colonists need many of them. There are no cans, plastic bags, or cardboard boxes. I make many different kinds of baskets. How do I make them? Well, to begin my work, a basket maker cuts down young trees with an ax. Ash, hickory, and willow trees work well. I cut the wood into long strips called splints. I soak the splints in water to make them bendable. Using a mallet, I flatten them once they are soft. I separate layers of wood with a large knife. Then, I flatten them again. Next, I weave the the baskets bottom. I turn up spokes, strips of wood, to form the basket’s sides. Then, I weave strips over and under the spokes in rows. Finally, I make the rim and handle. So, that’s how I make baskets.
