Geography!
This week in geography, our class learned a lot about the religions of southwest asia. We divided into groups and each group had a different religion to research. I had Islam, which a really interesting religion. After we learned about ours, we put all of the information on a posterboard and presented it to the class so that they could learn more. Next week, there is a speaker coming from each major religion to talk to us and teach us about them.
For me this week was pretty normal. I rode my horse a lot, and went to a movie with a few friends. It was really good!! These past three thursdays have been late start days at school, which means we start one hour later and we get to sleep in so that was nice. But now that school is coming to a close, there are no more late start days or holidays! But my friends and I are really excited for summer to come. What are you going to do this summer?

April Fools Day!
This week in geography we began to learn about Iraq and internal conflicts. We started a small project having to do with the three major groups there, the sunni, shiite, and kurds. For the project, we had to come up with a peace plan to help the groups to get along. We also learned that water is a major problem in the middle east, as it is being unevnely distributed. It is predicted that the next wars will no longer be about oil, but instead water.
April 1 was this week....april fools day!! At least thats what is called in america. Its a day of tricks and everybody plays pranks on everyone else. Nothing is meant for harm, just all fun and games. It isn't a holiday based on religion, or culture, just a fun holiday meant for everyone everywhere to enjoy. I saw my family and friends this weekend, and had fun hanging out with them.
