Hi, my name is Cynthia and I am going to tell you everything you want to learn about Franklin D. Roosevelt. Do you know all about Franklin D. Roosevelt? Well I do and I'm going to tell you all about him. He as born in 1882 in Hyde Park, New York. HE had a family that was rich and he had 3 pets. He had 2 dogs and 1 horse. But the sad thing is that he was the only child in his family. In the summer sometimes, the Roosevelt family went to their summer home in Canada. When he was 14, Roosevelt went to a boarding school were they did studies and stuff. When he turned 16, he was the manager of his school's baseball team. After Roosevelt finished college, he went to law school. When he was still in school, he married Eleanor Roosevelt, which was his cousin's niece. In 1921, Roosevelt got a rare disease that affected him to walk. Doctors said he had Polio. Some people died from Polio, but Roosevelt didn't. But, he was unable to walk so he had to be in a wheel chair but that didn't stop him from great work. Since Roosevelt couldn't walk anymore, he exercised a whole lot because he wants his leg muscles to be stronger. In 1932, Roosevelt ran for President of the United States. While he ran for president, he promised that he would help thousands or even millions of people that been hurt from time to time. In radio speeches, they call it fireside chats, he talked to the people. On the radio, Roosvelt would explain how the government plans to help people get through the Great Depression. When Roosevelt was still president, he had some tough challenges. In 1939, Great Britain and France went to war against the United States. By the time it was 1940, Roosevelt became president three times. On April 7, 1945, after leading the country through World War 2, FDR died at the age of 63. Everyone from the United States still remembers Franklin D. Roosevelt and his work.

Dear Viewers,
I am going to teach you about something called partial product. This is a strategy to solve a multiplication problem. Let me give you an example of 24 x 4. I think you know how to do it already, but partial product is different. First, you set it up like you usually do, then you do 4x4 which is 16. This is when what you do gets kind of tricky, so listen. The 2 in the 24 is really worth 20 so you multiply 20 x 4. So, going back to the 4 x 4 =16, and the 20 x 4 = 80. So you put the 16 and the 80 under the line and then you add them, which gives you 96. So the product is 96. Some people think that partial product is hard but really it's not so just think about what you are doing and you will get the answer. Sincerely, Debare PS-PLEASE TRY! Today in Ms. Phillips class, we learned about pronouns. In case you don't know what pronouns are, I'm here to tell you that pronouns are basically nouns that are used to take the place of regular nouns. Like, if a sentence said "Chad went outside. Chad played tag." Instead you could say, "Chad went outside. He played tag." Do you see what I mean? Instead of using "Chad" again, I said "he." Because if you keep on using the same word over and over again, readers won't want to read your story anymore. You could replace it with words like they, he, and she cause if you use exciting words your reader will be engaged and want to keep reading. Then when they are finished, they will probably say, "I can't wait for the next book," and then you will feel good about yourself. Pronouns can also be used in talking like what if you're talking about a cereal instead of saying, "the cereal, the cereal, the cereal," you could say, "it has this, it has that." But you have to say the cereal first in order for your friend to know what you're talking about.
This is new reporter Nate, signing off. Hi, my name is Debare. Sorry I haven't been blogging lately. But today I am going to tell you about two rivers (again.) And the rivers are the Colorado and the Ohio River.
Let me start with the Colorado River. The Colorado River is really smoother than all the other rivers. It empties into the Gulf of California. It travels through the Grand Canyon. It is 1470 miles long. It is the 7th largest river in the world. This is all about the Colorado River. The second one is the Ohio River. It is 975 miles long so it is pretty short. It empties into the Mississippi River. The Ohio River is known for flooding. Then when it floods, it connects with the Mississippi River and floods again. That is what I learned about the Colorado and Ohio Rivers. Hi, we are back to tell you about our learning. This week we learned about heat. We learned that heat moves thru conduction, convection, and radiation. We made heat flip books. Mr. Triplett brought in a toaster and a lamp to let us feel heat transfer. You can feel the heat without even touching something and that is radiation. Did you know that the color black absorbs heat? Well it does and that is why you don't wanna wear black when it is hot. Ms. Phillips took some pictures of our heat lesson.
Hi our names are Zari and Debare and we are going to tell you about what we learned today. We learned about the Mississippi River. It is home to 247 species of fish, 50 amphibians. It goes through ten types of states. It starts in Minnesota and ends in the Gulf of Mexico. It is the 4th largest river in the world. It is number one in the United States. At one point, it stands as wide as 7 miles. The EQ was "How does the Mississippi River help us?" We learned that the way people use the Mississippi River is using boats to transport people and things.
