CHICAGO HISTORY

 On Sunday October 8, 1871 a fire was started in Chicago, yet the reason still remains unknown. Many skeptics have multiple ideas on how the fire started. The oldest and most iconic is the Great Chicago Fire was started by Mrs. O’ Leary’s cow. Who supposedly kicked over a lantern while the cow was being milked. The O’Leary’s were a poor family with three children. The fire lasted two days and died out on an early Tuesday morning. With a result of killing about 300 people, and destroying 2,112 acres of land. Not only that, the fire left more than 100,000 people homeless. The blaze lasted so long because Chicago at the time had rough winds and dry conditions. The reporter, Michael Ahern later on admitted in 1893 that the story of the O’Leary’s was fake. Therefore the cause of the Great Chicago Fire is still unknown.

END OF THE YEAR FEELS

 We have two and a half weeks left of school. I’ve accomplished things, and i haven’t accomplished things. At the end of the year, i guess I needed to learn to put my best effort forward. At the end of the year I noticed that I stop putting my effort forward because it’s almost over. Ive had a lot of fun memories, and a lot of bad ones. Can’t wait to see what 7th grade brings.

SLICE OF LIFE

  My slice of life. There's not a lot of my life to write about, because... I live a kinda boring life. Just being honest. But yesterday, I did something. So I was at my grandparents house. And, I had a lot of homework. But, I was with my whole family. That's very rare. Either my sister is working, or my dad can't make it. Whatever the case is, we're not all together. But yesterday, we were. Oddly enough. So, I was trying to do my homework, and block out the noise that I was hearing. But let me tell ya, that's very hard. So instead of trying to block it out, and distract myself. I just didn't do my homework at that moment yesterday. Instead, I ran into the kitchen to try and eat something. I ended up not even eating a full meal. I ate jello. But hey, at least I didn't starve. I really don't know what the point of this blog is, as I've mentioned before. I HAVE to do this.

DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP

 D i  g i t a l  Ci t e z e n s h i p... what I'll be working on this year. Now that I have this blog that "a lot" of people will be reading. I could share what I will be doing this year with it. Using my iPad responsibly, respectfully, and safely. Let's see how well that goes. I think I'll succeed, somewhat. Other than using my iPad for homework, and in school. I really have no use to use my S C H O O L iPad outside of school. Going along with the idea of respectful, no negativity will be coming out of me while using my iPad. Or, at all.   |C R E D I T S  T O  MS. HAURY|
