The Mexican Revolution

On November 20, 1910, Francisco I. Madero kicked off the Mexican Revolution by calling his countrymen to arms to topple the crooked regime of President Porfirio Diaz. Over one million Mexicans would die (including Madero) in the ensuing ten years of chaos and mayhem as powerful warlords like Pancho Villa and Alvaro Obregon fought over the fate of the nation.

What I learned in fourth grade is that a guy named Hernan Cortez conquered

The Aztecs and named Mexico to new spain and he built 21 missionaries and made

native Americans grow some crops and they didn’t pay $ to solders in days or

In years so some wanted to fight the Spanish people and at the end guess who won

Spain or New spain(Mexican people)?It was ………….. new Spain!!!!!

Our Definitions- WHAT IS LOVE? FRIENDSHIP? ...

What's Love'? What's "Friendship'? What do some of  the most used and valued words mean to you? Here's what we think...

Lucas Hernandez-                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

1.    I think love is friendship and it  is not the nasty word of love it is... and it is when   they're sick and you care about them...you don’t snich on them and they are always there for you.

2.     Friendship is when you care for someone 

Manuel Serrano

                                               

1. A friend: defends you all the time

EX:my friend defended my by the bully

2. Love is:  when you have a friendship

Ex:  we are both best friends forever.

3. Respect is:  you behave good and follow directions

Ex:  I respect my teachers.

4. Happiness is: The opposite of SAD.

Ex:the bully hit me and stole my money. I was not happy.

Love means to me is to care about other people like karina Juliana and my family.

Friendship means that people care about you and sometimes they do things that you don’t know about .

Respect means to me is that a people pay attentiton  to you or  teachers ,moms,dads,teachers and friends.

You could make people feel beter by  a kiss,o un abraso ,regalo o una sorpresa.

What's a subject that concerns you in YOUR Life? BULLYING.

Bullying is a topic that us 4th Graders decided was VERY important to discuss and try to understand. Here are some pictures and articles we foung through google to help you see what this looks like. Bullying can be from friends, family member, strangers, or anyone that wants to hurt your self-esteem. Our advice, always go to someone for help if you are threatened, try to express yourself through writing or other hobbies and activities, and realize that the bullies are the problem, not YOU. :)
