Yesterday in class we made magazine covers about the 14th amendment, and I discovered that Maddie can't do rough drafts. I also learned that when you swirl red and yellow crayons on an orange background it looks awesome.
Today in class we filled out a worksheet about the different plans on handling the south after the civil war. I thought each one had about one good idea. Also, we used crayons to color in a map, which was awesome because who doesn't love crayons?

On Friday in class, we did some worksheets about important documents and speeches. On monday, being yesterday, we went to the computer lab and worked in groups (which didn't really work out) on a worksheet about what happened to the South after the Civil War. Then we looked at a political cartoon about the KKK, and then we printed out a worksheet about the Black Codes and did that. After all that was finished, I looked at funny pictures. And also phosey jaw briefly for really no reason until Maddie pointed out a particularly gross picture and i almost died.

Pooh Bear!!

So, Pooh Bear was basically the definition of my childhood. We have the books, all the stuffed animals, and the movies on tapes. The Tigger Movie was my first ever film to see in theaters, and I loved the Pooh Bear holiday special, and the one where Christopher Robin goes missing. I could just rant for ever about Pooh Bear.
I've always thought of myself as a Tigger. Whenever I watched his movie I would get up and sing his song about the "super-dooper loopty-looper alle-ooper bounce!" and jump all around the room. I'm proud to say that I stopped by the end of second grade. Tigger's kind of a jumps-to-conclusions, very loud and not always correct type of guy, which is me a lot of the time.
After taking the test, I came up as Rabbit! I'm honestly not that surprised. I like Rabbit a lot too. It's probably because I mellowed out a lot with age from when I was super-energetic-crazy Tigger. The bio says Rabbit has a short temper. Yup, that sounds about right. When stupid people are about, my sanity goes right out the window.

POOH BEAR QUOTES!!!!
"Forever and ever is a very long time, Pooh."
"But it wont be that long when I'm with you!"

"Come out moon, come out wishing star! Come out, come out, wherever you are."

"Even if there is a tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you."

Ahh! Right in the childhood.

I forgot to blog yesterday for days 3 and 4, so this is for those two days. On day three, also known as Tuesday, we prepared for the test the next day and talked. Yesterday, we took the test, which I think went fairly well. There's not much to say, but I feel like the post should be longer.

So this post is a day late because I forgot to post last night. So, on Monday we took lots and lots of notes on the civil war and I forget what we did on Friday. But I know what we did today! And what we are doing tomorrow! But that has nothing to do with this blog, really. So that is all.

Happy 2013! I really don't remember what we did almost two weeks ago, so I'm just going to talk about what we did today. Today we talked about the emancipation proclamation and whether or not it was the document it was cracked up to be. I don't think it is. All the hype when you're little about how "Honest Abe" freed the slaves with a single document, you don't realize that the document was kind of an afterthought and that it really didn't give the slaves any rights. It didn't even free them all, just the ones in the rebellious states. It's a little underwhelming.
