Chicago History

By Anonymous
The Great Chicago fire happen on October 8, 1871 and lasted till October 10, 1871. On the day the fire started it was windy and since the whole city was made out of wood that made the fire go wild even more.  There were so many building that burned there was about 17,500 building that burned down. The building that did survive the Great Chicago fire was st. Michael's Church, Chicago Water Tower, St. Ignatius College, and the Holly Family Church. As many as 300 people died from  the Great Chicago fire and left over 100,000 people homeless. People that survived the fire had to jump into Lake Michigan.

Favorite animal

By Anonymous
My favorite animal is a baby panda because they are so cute. Some fun facts about baby pandas are  Baby pandas are born blind.   At birth baby pandas weigh under six ounces and are under six inches in length.   The panda bear cub’s chances of survival in the wild depends on their learned development skills as well as their habitat. The ability to avoid human contact and influence is also an important factor.  A panda cub gains weight steadily and will reach about 75 pounds within one year. It will still maintain the cute appearance of a juvenile.  The panda reproduction cycle is a long one. Normally a mother gives birth to a baby panda every two years. However it is not uncommon for a mother to wait three or even four years before giving birth. Females have a litter size of one or sometimes two cubs. Those are why my favorite animal is a baby panda.  http://www.bearlife.org/baby-panda.html
