Notes:
In Science we learned and talked about erosion of the Earth. If
you've ever had the privilege of traveling to foreign countries or even across
the United States, you've certainly observed the many different land forms that
make up the fascinating surface of our Planet Earth! But there's something
about these land forms that is impossible to notice with just a casual glance.
From the vast plains and plateaus to the rolling hills, towering mountains, and
deep valleys, the Earth's surface is very gradually, but very constantly, being
molded and worn down by a process called erosion.(EdHelper)
In Social Studies we learned and talked about the Yosemite Indians. Native
Americans lived in North America thousands of years before non-Native Americans
set foot here. They grouped themselves together into clans, or tribes. Each
tribe had its own way of living. This made each tribe unique. The Yosemite
Indians belonged to a group or clan known as the Miwok. Yosemite, pronounced
yoh-sem-i-tee, was a name given to this tribe of Native Americans by the white
newcomers. It is thought to be close to the pronunciation of an Indian word
"uzumati," which means grizzly bear.(EdHelper)
In Current Events, we read an article entitled Lucky Ohio Turkeys "Mac" And "Cheese" Trot Away To Retirement! from Dogo News. Every year, two turkeys manage to escape the Thanksgiving table thanks to a special pardoning granted by the President of the United States of America. This year was no exception! On Wednesday, November 26th, President Obama used his powers to free a 49-pound turkey named "Cheese" and a lucky spare named "Mac" and allowed them to trot off to Morven Park, in Leesburg, Virginia, where they will spend the rest of their lives in blissful retirement.
