I had a wonderful time listening to the fourth graders give their Living History speeches! As I was listening, my brain was surfing for new learning and fun facts. Also, I noticed that many of the people featured demonstrated amazing character traits that lead to their successes and accomplishments.

Use the notes you took to write about new learning, fun facts and/or thoughts about the important character traits of ONE or TWO of the famous people you met. Please share what you learned!

  3. My favorite person was Milton Hershey. I learned that he dropped out of school at age 13! He also started the hershey company in 1903 but that was a fail. But that didn't stop him, instead he created a Hershey Hotel! He married Katherine Smith. He sent Hershey chocolate to the army for only 5 cents. But he died on October 13, 1945. Milton was very genouras and hard working to
    succeed.

  4. My favorite person was Amelia Erhart. I didn't know that she first went across the Atlantic ocean then one across the Pacific ocean and succeeded on both! Then she made it across the Atlantic and stopped in Nigeria. Then she did the other half of her trip. I give her a compliment because she made an EVA mind storms that actually works and a cardboard airplane that pet that the propeller spins.

This time, I will write about Charles Drew. here is my notes; Charles Drew was very poor growing up, but that didn't stop him from being successful. I may be getting my notes messed up, but I wrote that he became a/the director of the Red Cross.

  9. I liked listening to Florence Nightingale. She invented nurses and pie charts. She also made it so that when someone is treating wounds they have clean hands. Can you imagine somebody cleaning your... let's say... deep cut, with dirty hands. (If you haven't had one that's not the point. The point is: [dun dun duun] Somebody cleaning your wound with dirty hands.) Night!

  10. My favorite person was Wilma Rudolph.
    She was a strong athlete and While she was loving athletic stuff she hurt her leg and was diagnosed with polio. She was born in January 3, 1940. She won Women athlete of the year 2 times! But sadly In 1991 She died at 50 years old!
    Someone else that I visited was Franklin D. Rosovelt.
    At 2003 he dropped out of Harvard
    Then the doctors diagnosed him with polio and he was in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
    He was the first U.S president to run more than 4 terms. 16 years!
    Hope everyone has a good day!

He created the atomic bomb which is a bunch of unstable atoms that split apart and cause a explosion! He also made the famous equation E=MC2 (The 2 is supposed two be small) Which stands for energy= mass times light speed square. Anyways bye guys!
