5th Grade Reflections

I learned that John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Blaise Pascal invented the first mechanical calculator, and that Montana was the 4th biggest state.  I struggeled with summarys in Mrs. Owens class,  friction in Mr. Mcbride class, and  some of the states and capitals. I was surprised when we got to talk in the hallways,   I had a man as a teacher,  and I got a new teacher in the middle of the year.  I was disappointed when we didn’t get to go to Mr. Brewers house, we had to take the STAAR test for a grade, and Mrs. Smith retiered in the middle of the year.

Civil War

The Civil War was fought from 1861 to 1865.  It was between the Union or the northern states and the Confederacy or the southern states that seceded from the Union.  The war was manly about slavery going on in the United States.  More than 600,000 people died from this war,you could say that this was a big battle.
