What I learned in 6th grade is...

You can’t expect things to come to you. You have to go for it, and try new things. Stick up for your self. Bulling is wrong and we don't do that here. Responsibility is important in life. Independence is also important. Blue slips are not good to get!!! Sixth grade for me was a vary different year. There was a lot more independence, and a lot more DRAMA!!!

WHAT WAS THE HOLOCAUST?

In 1933, the Jewish population of Europe stood at over nine million. Most European Jews lived in countries that Nazi Germany would occupy or influence during World War II. By 1945, the Germans and their collaborators killed nearly two out of every three European Jews as part of the "Final Solution," the Nazi policy to murder the Jews of Europe. Although Jews, whom the Nazis deemed a priority danger to Germany, were the primary victims of Nazi racism, other victims included some 200,000 Roma (Gypsies). At least 200,000 mentally or physically disabled patients, mainly Germans, living in institutional settings, were murdered in the so-called Euthanasia Program.
As Nazi tyranny spread across Europe, the Germans and their collaborators persecuted and murdered millions of other people. Between two and three million Soviet prisoners of war were murdered or died of starvation, disease, neglect, or maltreatment. The Germans targeted the non-Jewish Polish intelligentsia for killing, and deported millions of Polish and Soviet civilians for forced labor in Germany or in occupied Poland, where these individuals worked and often died under deplorable conditions. From the earliest years of the Nazi regime, German authorities persecuted homosexuals and others whose behavior did not match prescribed social norms. German police officials targeted thousands of political opponents (including Communists, Socialists, and trade unionists) and religious dissidents (such as Jehovah's Witnesses). Many of these individuals died as a result of incarceration and maltreatment.

Rules

Text to text. My first connection is to the book House with No Name. I am connecting John and David. David and John both are little brothers with ADHD. Text to self I was helping a disabled kid before. I am more like Catharine because we both have little brothers. I have a little sister that doesn't fallow the rules, and I can't control her.  I am the oldest to out of my brother and sister.
If I were to interview David I would ask him; Why don't you listen to your sister? He would say" because she bosses me around". Why do you put toys in the fish tank, when you know you'r not suppose to? He would say" because I want to decorate it"! Why do you like going to the video store? He would say" because I like to look at the ratings and comments on the videos"!

My favorite painting...

My favorite painting was the one with the trees. It was by Paul. I loved it's colors. It reminded me of when I was little, and I was at my grandma's house, and we were taking a walk back to our pond!

Usama Bin Laden Killed in Firefight With U.S. Special Ops Team in Pakistan.

     

Usama Bin Laden Killed in Firefight with U.S. Special Ops Team in Pakistan (source: Fox News).

The terrorist mastermind of 2001 was finally found. The Navy Seals found him deep inside Pakistan.
The house was 100 yards from the gate of the Kakul Military Academy, an army-run institution where top officers train. After a firefight, they went after Usama Bin Laden, and killed him. He took a couple shots to the head. Now at baseball games and other events U.S citizens chant "U.S.A, U.S.A".

Officials said bin Laden’s body, which was in U.S. custody, was given a sea burial. Many U.S citizens truly believed that he deserved to die. I believe that he did need to get found and die, because he was behind all of deaths of all the U.S citizen's who had to suffer in the burning buildings. 

In recent years, that hunt had increasingly led U.S. intelligence across the border and into Pakistan, where Al Qaeda is thought to be located.

 I also speak for the people who lost their loved ones in the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001.
