We've learned so much about the Rocky and Appalachian Mountain regions over the last few weeks. Here are some ShowMe presentations about these regions.
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.
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. |
