BA #23/Teen/Kid Features

Ugandan Eagle project nominated for national award

     Right now I will talk about a story that I think was very interesting to me.This story is a heart warming story and is very touching.There is a teenager who was on a quest to earn his Eagle Scout rank.So he took his service project to East Africa where he did the most wonderful thing in the world.He helped improve the living conditions at  home for abandoned babies.I do not know why I chose this story,but it seems it reminds me of something.It reminds me of something that we can do to help in our Serve-A-Thon.


Niya Robinson on Life

     Next I will blog about a girl who is interviewed,and talks about life.She is sixteen years of age, and goes to Zachary High School.She then talks about everything she loves,and who are important to her.She is a vice president of her junior class at school,and a photographer for their Interact Club.Niya also is the section leader for her schools choir altos.This story contains all the things that we can do if we stay in school.That is how this girl got o do all those incredible things,because she stayed in school.

Blog Assignment #21/Monet

     THE LIFE OF CLAUDE MONET


     Hello again my fellow students.Today we will talk about a famous artist that was amazing.His name is Claude Monet.He is a very famous French impressionist painter,and did a great job of it.This man is so amazing,and the amazing part starts right now.
         Claude Monet was born on November 14, 1840 on  the fifth floor of rue Laffitte,in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.He was the second of his parents which were second-generation Parisians.When Monet was sixteen he left school to live with his widowed child-less aunt,Marie-Jeanne Lecadre.In May 1871,he left London to live in Zaandam,in the Netherlands where he made twenty-five paintings.I do not know anout you,but twenty-five paintings are many paintings.
          Monet and Camille Doncieux married just before the war(June 28,1870),and after their  exursion to London and Zaandam, they had moved to Argenteuil in December 1871.It was also during that time when Monet painted various works of modern life.Claude had noticed the village of Giverny while looking out of a train window.He amde up his mind to move their and rented a house and the surrouding area.Monet had lived in Giverny from 1883 until his death in 1926.I hope you found this information useful and suprising.

Blog Assignment #15/Africa/Storytelling

AFRICA

     This was a video about the children in Africa getting great education.It is nice to know that the people at least care about the people there in Africa and want to help.The people there want to provide the children of Africa with highly electronic things in school to help there education.I think that is the sweetest thing in the world.Now the children in Africa can be great smart people with a wonderful education.

     The next video I watched was talking about how every school can be a 21st century school.Even the people in Senegal should have a nice and learning education like the children down here.I am sure that the kids in Africa are happy with there technology and education.They should be very thankful because most schools can not provide that.Wait there is one more question.How can the people in Africa provide all those things for the children in school.

     Now that we have went over all the education problems in Africa lets get another topic shall we.I found a story about a boy who tells us how he Sunday's go everytime.He showed us the net that he had around his bed.He told us that that very net has to keep the mosquitoes out from biting him.Then he is nice enough to scare and help his brother with his homework.He keeps his family company and drinks tea with them all.Now that was such a nice boy.
