How Friends can help you

Friends can help you in the future because if you can trust them and get along with them there is a good chance that you will continue to be friends with them in the future. This is important because you know someone you can trust and is loyal. If you don’t have friends you can trust then that is not good because you will never be able to ask someone if you need advice.

What people think about our flag.

Recently our class had to ask 15 people from 3 different generations what a flag means to them and this is what they said.

Something we can understand

Have you ever wondered were the Star Spangled Banner came from, well I know I have. The Star Spangled Banner was written by Francis Scott Key who was in a ship while Fort McHenry was being attacked by the british. Francis Scott Key decided to write a poem about the sight. It is know known as are national antham.

Translated Song:

Can you see by the early morning lights.

 We happiallycheared at the last gleam of bright light.

The big colors and stars, went through the tough fight.

Over the mounds, we wondered if they were stll flowing.

Rockets filled up the sky, and bombs filled the air.

We found our flag still there.

Does that banner still wave.

The land of freedom and the home of braveness.

What a storm!

A severe tornado and hurricane came rushing through at the perfect time for the U.S during the war of 1812. The British had just destroyed many buildings and towns, when they were marching a humongousstorm approached. Many soldiers were caught off gaurd and had no shelter to protect them. Many died becuase of debre from both the hurricane and tornado. Most just laid down in the open fields just to try and stop themselves from getting blown away because of the strong winds. This storm saved the U.S because now many of the British soldiers died because of the storm, and those that didn’t were very scattered and unorganized. This allowed the U.S to regroup and gave them an advantage for the remander of the war.

Why do we use that?

I believe we create symbols when something is important enough or when you need a symbol to represent something. We create symbols when they are needed. We need them to represent something because pictures mean more than words. An American flag is considered a symbol because it represents freedom. It symbolizes everything that many people worked hard to get,, and it represents that hard work and freedom of our 50 states.flag

What I do

My passion is sports. That is my passion because it is all I do. I always go to sports when I’m bored or have nothing to do. I like most sports espacially baseball and basketball. When I play sports I look to achieve many goals and being able to do my best.In the future I want to be able to play sports in college. Sports helps me in my everyday life with things like sportsmanship and teamwork. When I play sports I enjoy it that is why it is my passion.
