This week in Mrs.Doolittle's class we have bean learning about some interesting things, well, at least in Social Studies. Today (Jan 15) we talked about how the people of Flint Michigan have to avoid all tap water because of the lead pipes and how Governor Snyder hasn't done anything so he is not a very good governor and Flint has proven that! We have been learning in math about fractions and stuff like that and we have reading groups about the American Revolution and important people like King Gorge  III and GW and how the colonies had gotten physical with the Red Coats (English Army) and how after that they had important events like the Boston Tea Party and the Boston Massacre and what at least I have noticed is that all the important events happened in Boston. Other things we have been talking about in our Morning Meetings is the big gun violence in this country and how it is out of control and we got to share our opinions like a debate, just with less arguing. Because it is the campaign season for the Democrats and the Republicans many celebrities have spoken out about gun violence the first and most important one was when Amy Schumer after what happened in Denver, and then other people such as Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafazi. That's what we learned this week.
