Linda Brown Thompson

Hey, have you guys ever heard of the Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education case? Well,since my mom is a lawyer she taught me a little bit more about this topic. Ms.Brown was one of the first black kids to go to a white school. COOL RIGHT!If you don't know her full name it's Linda Brown Thompson. Well, I am not going to keep you waiting, let's go! 

 

WHAT I am going to talk about!

1.  Ms.Brown's Childhood
2.  Linda Brown Thompson
3. My day at the Atlanta History Center
4. FUN FACT!
5. What I liked at the Atlanta History Center.

        

Now, first I am going to talk about her childhood.She was born in Topeka,Kansas in 1942.Pretend you were seven and you always had to walk a mile to school.Life was not easy for her, but she did it she got blacks and whites to the same school.She was picked on and not respected just because of her race.Oliver Brown(Her dad) said "This is crazy blacks and whites need to be equally treated." So that's what he did he went to a near by White school and asked "Can I see the person in charge"they said "NO!" and they need to leave quickly.












Linda Brown was one of the first black kids tho go to a white school. I know it was a BIG DEAL to go to a white school.Did you know that they gave less money to the black schools and more money to the white schools. SO UNFAIR! 
 




Hey, you know the Atlanta History Center I learned a little bit of what happened in the Civil Rights Movement. I went there with my class it was so much fun. First we went and learned a bit and then we went into war. Not like real war ,but I hope you know what I mean. If not then let me tell you about it. The guider first gave us a clip board, then we had a soldiers name and some points( heath and morale points) I had SO much FUN on that field trip.






                    FUN FACT !

Wilbur had his own book called Hard Marching Every Day: The Civil War Letters of Private Wilbur Fisk.








Well, sadly I only have one more thing to talk about and that is...what I liked about it. HMMMM.... maybe my favorite part was when we went into war. I already told you that it was not real war. So don't freak out.Nobody got killed.So yay.Why you are probably asking well because I got to do it with my friends and that's what made the field trip fun.So there you got my answer.



Adios... Hope to see you on my next blog and by the way if you did not notice this is my science blog. I am doing Social Studies.HAHAHHA!OH YAYAYAYAY almost forgot here are the links to where I got my pictures.

THANK YOU!

BIRDS!

                                             

       Wassup its Taylor here and if you did not know I am going to talk about a thing that can fly. If you said Birds then you shall be correct.Well I am not going to keep you waiting for the amazing blog.Anyway lets get started.


Birds!Nobody really thinks about one til they see it,but they probably say " Hey look that is pretty bird". They never ask "Hey how do they fly?" Well the anwser to that is so simple.They have hallow bones and when you have hallow that allows you to have light weight when you fly.We could fly ,but we have hard and heavy bones. Birds have not not so heavy or hard bones.Here is a picture.

    
          




Next!Why are birds endothermic?I bet if your reading this you never really thought aboout it? Well me to intil I did this blog. See they have to be endothermic because there are just built that way nobody really knows why.




OKAY!Know I want to get to something that we all notice on a bird or the bird of prey(eagle)there beak or bill. Well the bird of prey has a beak for catching and riping there food to shreads.Reagular birds have a bill because they are small and the beak would be to heavy for them to carry around. 





                                       FUN FACTS!

•   Did you know that female birds have a dark dule look to there featers to protect there babies and males have such a bright colorful look to there feathers.

• They have to types of feathers contor feather and a down feather cool right. A contour feather gives the bird the stream line shape. The down feather keeps them warm.

As we all know our national bird is the BALD EAGLE well I am going to tell you a few things about BALD EAGLES first they are one of the  best hunters. Thats probably why they are also known as the bird of prey.Cool right I would want to have a nickname like that.They are called the bald eagle because a long time ago people thought white is bald and then thats how it go hes name.






Last ,but not least my favorite bird is the LESSER GREEN BOARDBILL BIRD. Its latin name is Calyptomena viridis. Did you  know that they all love to live in like a cool tropical range. So I bet you will never see one in Atlanta. 








Thank you so much for reading my blog and I hope to see some good comments!BYE
