The battle was on Saturday, October 4, 1777 and took place in Germantown, Pennsylvania. It was 34 degrees, and cloudy outside. The British was lead by Sir William Howe. The Americans were lead by George Washington. The British forces were divided, so Washington saw a opportunity to attack. They attacked the British garrison in Germantown at the last effort before winter. Washington hoped to surprise the British just like the Battle of Trenton. However, Howe left 3,462 men to defend the British garrison and sent 9,728 men to Germantown, 5 miles north, determined to locate and destroy the American forces. The Americans fought  very good, but the British fought better and ended up winning. 152 Americans were killed, 521 Americans were wounded, and 438 Americans were captured. 71 British were killed, 444 British were wounded, and 0 British were captured.

December 7, 1941 was a very sad day. Japan had attacked Pearl Harbor in Oahu, Hawaii. It was Sunday morning and the time was 8:oo. There was cargo planes coming to Pearl Harbor, so when the staff looked at the radar and the was a green dots there they did not thing much of it. Then Japan attacked. They sent planes that bombed from air and submarines that blasted the Pearl Harbor from the water

The bombing lasted for 2 hours. After that we came back better than ever, and got involved with World War 2. We had dropped the first 2  nuclear bombs ever on Japan. We even ended up winning World War 2. There is a memorial for everyone who had died. The memorial was located on the ship called the U.S.S Arizona.

The Kid Who Ran for President was a amazing book. The books about a 12 old kid who ran for president. His name was Judson Moon. Judson had a friend over named Lane. Lane told him he should run for president. Judson thought he was joking, but he wasn’t. Judson made a third party called the lemonade party. He ran in to a problem he had to raise 20 million dollars. Kids from everywhere sent him money. Judson made money by a lemonade stand. After, the lemonade stand he went viral. He was all over the TV. Judson had his first speech at a assembly that his school held. he said if he won he would take away homework. Election day was getting closer and closer, but the Constitution got in the way. People thought he should be eligible so the Constitution was changed. He was getting tired of running, but he had to run cause they changed the Constitution for him. he got invited to a debate. Judson was scared, but he knew he could destroy his change of winning if he made a goof of his self. So he did. Then finally it was election day. He was ahead of President White, but not at 270. Every state was in but California. If White got it the chose would go to the government. California’s votes where in and the person who got it was… You will have to read the book to find it.

The reason I love this book is it keeps you on your toes, and you never know whats going to happen next. The book has 26 chapters. I hope you liked this blog post and go and read the book yourself.

Whats your favorite season? My favorite season is spring. Just think about it, school ends in spring. You can kick back and relax. You can stay at your friends house any day of the week, not just on the weekends, and you can sleep as late as you want. The second reason is baseball starts. You can chew on sunflower seeds while watching them smack the ball across the field, and throw the ball across the field as fast as lightning to get the runner out. Another reason is the weather is great. You can swim, go on vacation, and play outside. The final reason is the scenery is great. The butterflies are fluttering around. The flowers are blooming. You can sit outside and have a picnic while chasing butterflies, and admire the beautiful flowers. I hope I made you second guess about you favorite season.

This is me, Kylie, Calee, and Kynlie in our PJS on Friday. Monday we dressed in red. Tuesday we dressed like nerds. Wednesday we dressed up like superheros. Thursday we wore a crazy hat. And of course on Friday we wore our PJS. When we did this I had no idea how Red Ribbon Week was started, so I did some research and here is what I found out. Red Ribbon Week began after the kidnapping, torture, and brutal murder of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Agent Enrique “KiKi” Camarena in 1985. Agent Camarena had been working undercover in Guadalajara, Mexico for over 4 years. He found a tip one day that led to a discovery of a multi-million narcotic manufacturing operation in Chihuahua, Mexico. The successful eradication of this and other drug production operations angered leaders of several drug cartels who sought revenge. As a result, on February 7, 1985 they kidnapped  Agent Camarena and his pilot Caption Alfredo Zavala-Avelar (taken separately on the same day). When the DEA found out they launched a massive investigation. Soon, representatives of the Mexican Federal Judicial Police (MFJP) presented a tip to the DEA agents claiming Agent Camarena had been mistakenly kidnapped by a man and his 3 sons. The MFJD informed the agents that a raid of the man’s ranch in Angostura would take place the next morning and invited them to come. The MFJP raided the ranch before the DEA agent arrived. During the raid, they shot and killed 5 people. Not long after, a passerby found the bodies of both Agent Camarena and Captain Zavala were buried in one place and then moved to the ranch were they were found. The DEA found tapes that showed them being tortured and medical doctors keeping Agent Camarena alive so they could continue the interrogation. After all of this, they became a voice for prevention in order to reduce the demand for illegal drugs and illegal use of drugs in America. The following year the California State PTA adopted the RRC. Then in 1988, RRW was recognized nationally.
