A Visit from Ms. Crum....

      Hey guys!!! On this blog entry we are talking are visit from Ms. Crum that took place last wenesday. Ms. Crum gave us what some people would call a "college lecture" on Alice Paul. We learned a lot of stuff we didn't know about Alice Paul for example how she went on in her life and earned many degrees. She was an inspiration to numerous people. Why you ask? Alice Paul was known for standing up for women suffragists. She stood for her beliefs and was arrested for speaking her mind. Thats a true woman, and humanitarian. Just by Alice Paul standing up for something at all, shows us what we can and should do through-out our lives. We want to influence everyone to know that Alice Paul was not an ordinary woman, but still she was a hero. To this day we Ashley, Ayanna and Javon wish we could meet Alice Paul. We think that just being in the presence of her atmosphere is a privilage. To be next to a person who did so much for women everywhere is a true honor. Ms. Crum also had a special suprise for us. She took us on a walk to the Sewall-Belmont house. She told us various things that went on with that building. Unfortunately, we were not able to go in because of constructual issues, but again it was an exciting moment for everyone. We even took some pics and recieved cool stickers. Being with Ms. Crum was a true experience of something that helped build our knowledge to a more extensive view.

Blogging about Justice Day O' Connor

Justice Sandra Day O' Connor is a retired member of the Supreme Court. She was the first women EVER to become a member of the Supreme Court. She was born in a remote area in Arizona, but went to school in El Paso, Texas. While in Texas, Justice O' Connor lived with her grandparents. While she spent her youth on "the back of horses", she spent most of her time studying and attending school. She said herself " I was just a cowgirl". As a judge she decided to take up speed reading. She also stated " I had to read thousands of pages everyday!". We could never imagine reading that much in one day. 

Our experience was stupendous!!! She answered most of our questions and gave us some great laughs. It was a privilege for her to be in our presence. It was an unimaginable feeling when she stepped through the door. More like a good aura and an incredible feeling for everyone in the room. She is a very nice lady and lovely to have visit. We learned a great lesson form Justice O' Connor today, and that was to keep your head high and never back down from your responsibilities. 

 One idea hat we took from today was that anyone can have a desire, but it takes courage to make it come true.

The Nacotchtank Tribe: By Ashley

Nacotchtanks of the Eastern Woodlands were affected by climate, and food resources.They  grew seasonal crops and used birchbark canoes when fishing in nearby waters.

Blackfoot Native Americans

In the Great Plains have limited water supplies because there land was not along any coasts. Buffalo in this area had many uses like food.  

Javon's Inuit Tribe!!!!!!!!

 My Native American slide!!! Geography affected my tribe because the climate was too cold to grow any     crops and they had to wear animal skin.
