Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman was a good person. She helped slaves escape. But when she was a kid she got hit in the head by a wight. She had a scar on her head. When she was better and some times all the sudden she fell fast a sleep for no reason. After she escaped to freedom, she went back to get her sisters family then she went back to get her parents. She got married to Jon. she wanted to escape but Jon did not want to escape and he said "if you run then I will tell your master"Harriet thought she would never see Jon again so at night when Jon was sleeping she escaped. Harriet Tubman helped over 300 slaves escape. She lived to be 93 years old. she died of old age. I think Harriet Tubman is cool, do you ? Her nickname was minty then the slaves said "she is not minty anymore she is Harriet". Harriet liked that. Its a lot of fun to listen to the story. We listened to it once.

Mrs. Whitten has chicken eggs in an incubator in room 2. The chicks are hatching a little bit today. The classroom is very stinky because some of the eggs are rotten. The first graders cant wait until the eggs hatch. One of the eggs has a hole in it and there is a beak sticking out. There are two eggs that are cracked and some are going to hatch pretty soon. We love the baby chicks. The classroom eggs just hatched. Room 2 is very happy.

Knut

Once there was a mother polar bear that had two baby polar bears. They were born in Germany. The baby polar bears mother didn't know how to take care of the baby polar bears so a guy named Thomas and a guy named Andre took care of the baby polar bears. Thomas and Andre didn't name the cubs because it's unusual for newborn animals to survive more than a few days. Knut ended up surviving but his brother didn't. Knut became famous and we had fun learning about him.
