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.

Some other fun facts about the United States is that  The most populated city in the US is New York City, followed by Los Angeles and Chicago. My favorite state in the United States is Colorado and California because it is very fun there. It’s hot in the two states. Those are some reasons why my favorite country is the United States.  http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/countries/unitedstates.html

MAP testing

By Anonymous
MAP testing is boring the only thing I like about it is the class periods a shorter. The only class I like that is long is ELA because the teacher is fun and also funny. MAP testing Takes forever and does not tell us how many questions there is going to be on the test. We have MAP testing for I think 1 or 2 weeks. Then there is only 3 more weeks of school so that is also a reason I know when school is out because of MAP testing.

Should we wear uniforms?

By Anonymous
I say we should not wear uniforms because uniforms are very uncomfortable and it also ruins your sense of style. Another reason why we should not wear uniforms is because uniforms are also very ugly. Some good reasons why uniforms might be good is people might wear something not appropriate for school or when you are getting dressed you take forever to pick out a outfit.
