Have you ever wondered who helped Black people have rights? Martin Luther King Jr. did! He was born January 15,1929. He was famous for his “I have a dream speech.” Martin Luther King Jr.wanted to become a minister. Like his father, he was a very good speaker. Martin Luther King wanted to stop slavery, and the rules of what White people could do but black people did not have permission to use, If black people did use the things they could not they would have to go to jail. Martin Luther King Jr. helped stop slavery. He was a minister for a church when he was not very old. He also won a Nobel Prize for his “I Have A Dream Speech.” Unfortunately he was shot and died at the age of 39. He died in 1968. Martin Luther King Jr. helped Blacks have the same rights as white people. If you would like to hear my “I Have A Dream Speech” click on the link below. -Anja
Early November the fourth grade went to the Aquadic Center. We went there to swim for Gym. We all had so much fun! I loved being at the Aquatic Center, There is a ton of fun exercises we do. I like doing the water push ups! You pull yourself up out of the water, then you let go and slowly go under water, You would do that again and again! When we have free time I live going down the slide, and the baby slide is fun! It is not nearly as scary as the big Slide. The “bucket” sounds pretty scary when I say it that way, but it is not at all! A big bucket fills up with water, Then it splashes all over you! There is a lot of fun things you can do at the Aquatic Center! I hope to go there again!
